I teach others that living is yoga. To make all acts sacred, all beautiful in and of itself, even fear or panic, spaces you pass through, with conscious awareness as you move through, this is the yoga of living. Being in the moment and having a perspective in your foundation that truly everything is for your growth and upliftment. Knowing truly you are not given what you can not handle. Being able to find this place within through the panorama of life. This is my high goal, the goal of Raja Yoga, to be present in all acts. Living this truth is empowering.
I share kinesthetic experiences so it is easier to be in the
moment. Joy, clarity, relaxation, focus all are important to live life fully and come from grounding and aligning all parts of yourself into one unit. To be fully in your body, in this sensory mode where you notice the nuances of color,
texture, sound, wind, other peoples energy, all your senses, brings you present. You more often can get lost to time, not in a reckless way but in a way of enjoyment that is good for you. I have spent a lot of my life trying to focus
this sensing into a more mechanical, ordered trait. It won’t fit there. It is
of its own accord because it comes from sensory, feeling nature, creative,
flowing. It is a gift, not hindrance as I was taught.
When I finally gave this its due honor, allowing this sense to
develop and be used as the gift of being in my body, mind, riding the emotions and embracing my spirit, it brought me towards a flowing existence. The senses bring us alert in our bodies. From
here we can use all faculties to surf the world, not just the mind, we can
engage our multidimensional nature. If you are only in the mind you cannot
access all the senses correctly. Blending the body messages with the mind perspective are the yoga balance we seek. It also offers an
opening to our 6th sense. Blending the many perspectives of
ourselves opens the empathetic gift, feeling the connectedness we truly have to
others.
That is what I have discovered through doing the physical,
Tia Chi, dancing, yoga, honoring my body through gentle organic movement has
tapped me into an energy source I didn’t know before. As I developed my honor and
connection to my body by being in it fully, it has much to tell me about the
world in a subtle way that I could miss being caught in the chatter and noise
of the mind. These flowing movements put me in a relaxed flowing state. My
body remembers how it feels to move in rhythm and calm energy. Good practice
for this our hectic lives.
Additionally, meditating on a place of fullness, filled and
flowing with connection to this universal energy force allows the safety to
perceive the world as safe and expanding . We are always able to pass through. Life becomes the yoga of experiencing it without
judgment and flowing through it. Seeing this way brings in joy. This practice of calling in fullness, connection to the one that we are
all part of, helps train the body to experience life in fullness. Creating great
new ways to live and move in the world.
The Eastern arts, both healing and expressive, inspire
us because of the pace, present awareness they teach us. To live as you move like a
dance of poses knowing all have their place in the flow of change is the
art. Finding a blessing in having a
body, honoring it and its nuances as your ally, aligning our tools, mental,
emotional, physical with our spirit at the helm. This is the yoga of living! This
is the gift I share in teaching. It allows you to calm down, relax, get
into oxytocin and Joyful living is the natural outcome. Like Magic!
I invite you to give
yourself this gift. I am only a consult away! May we walk forward with the goal
to make life art, to live in joy, play with it and make living a yoga of expressing your true spirit.
