Ma Jaya, the Master Teacher of my yoga lineage, said, "I won't throw you out of my heart, but I can throw you out of my house." I was reminded of this teaching when I saw a post circulating on Instagram that said, "Hey vaxxed friends, I love you! Hey unvaxxed friends, I love you!"

My reflection has been that the point was never that we don't love people based on their vaccination status; of course we do! But we can also sit with the reality of these decisions, show up for hard conversations and set loving boundaries when needed. We explore how this applies both to the pandemic and all interpersonal relationships in discussion, then practice a guided LovingKindess meditation for holding the love for our fellow humans, even in the midst of the intensity.
