Today, 12 Toj invites us to bundle our life experiences through the lens of gratitude, reflect on all the gifts and lessons we have received, and honor the silence and listening that allows us to hear the deeper wisdom of our journey.
Here’s the finessed version:
12 Toj — Reflecting on the Energy of Gratitude and Silence
Life has given me so much. I am sometimes overwhelmed by my good fortune in this lifetime: true friends, the early discovery of yoga to ground and center my path, a loving family, travels and adventures over the decades, education, opportunities, the magical lake life I live, the ability to read and write and glean wisdom from my knowledge and experiences.
It’s not always easy, this human life. There are shadows and traumas and things that happen that are shocking, sad, and beyond comprehension.
Yet above all, there is listening. There is the beauty of silence. There is Fire and Water. There are gifts and offerings in each breath.
This is what 12 Toj teaches: when we bundle our life experiences and look back with gratitude, we see not just the good fortune but the wholeness—the light and the dark woven together, held in the silence where wisdom lives.
Maltiox, Nawal Toj.
