One of the biggest sources of suffering is our tendency to become overly attached to the identities we construct. Our true identity isn’t something we create, but something we’re born with, an essence in the background of everything we do. At some point, we lost sight of this essence, trading it for an identity that appears to function better in social settings, leads to promotions, makes us feel more “correct,” and attracts the person we desire.

We’e complex creatures, and all fall into the trap of identity creation. However, it’s crucial to recognise that we’re selling ourselves short by trading the superficial with the deeper inner wealth we all possess.
Where there’s an identity to maintain, there will be struggle, and the greater the dissonance between that identity and our true nature, the more unhappy we become. Sooner or later, the feeling of misalignment or of “living a lie” becomes so intense that we either retreat further into the illusion or choose to take action.

The path to “doing the work” will be unique for everyone. Yoga, meditation, therapy, breathwork, men’s and women’s circles, somatic therapy, plant medicine, and religions are a few examples. Since my teens, I’ve been exploring plenty of avenues in an attempt to answer the same question: “Who am I?” I’m still asking it, still making mistakes along the way, and still have my vulnerabilities. However, I can confidently say that by continually asking this question, the feeling of dissonance has diminished, I feel more at ease with the self I present to the world, and the older I get, the closer I am to the Ryan who doesn’t need to struggle to be anything.

Instead of recommending a specific therapy or workshop, I’d just suggest asking yourself sincerely, “Who am I?” and following wherever that leads. You’ll be embarking on the most epic tale you have ever known - the story of YOU!
(The irony of the post is that it features an image of my “athletic yogi” identity on a platform designed to inflate egos. The absurdity also drives me nuts, and I definitely beat myself up about it. However, I believe that the most important thing isn’t to eliminate all identities and… continued in comments*

I meditate, not just for peace,
But to prepare for the battles ahead.

I meditate, not to manage my stress,
But to thrive in it.

I meditate, not to reduce my anxiety,
But to slay it.

I meditate, not to avoid conflict,
But to neutralise it when it happens.

I meditate, not to escape,
But to face.

I meditate, not to control my mind,
But to liberate it.

Don't use meditation as a fleeting crutch.

The paradox of true surrender:
You only start receiving when you stop expecting.

In the silence, you will find much more than you ever sought.

PYS 1.17 - Objective samadhi (samprajnata) consists of reasoning, contemplation, bliss & I-am-ness.
There are two types of samadhi (enlightenment) described by Patanjali called objective & objectless samadhi. In this sutra he describes the first, consisting of 4 layers. Although this enlightenment, much like love, is always a part of our hearts, we can’t always see it straight away. This is due to the multitude of subconscious imprints that cause us to doubt the incredible truth inside us. And so we go through these steps which create the conviction to take us back to who we truly are.
The object we use can be anything really - a rock, a star, a symbol or something more subtle like a chakra. In this example we’ll use the body since this is where Ashtanga & most modern forms of yoga start. What is key to know is that practice is essential for maturity in this samadhi.
In the reasoning stage we observe the body & its functions through asana and kriya. We get absorbed in the movements, sensations & the range of experience available when fully concentrated on what the body is doing. Eventually a realisation comes that although we have this wonderful vehicle, it is not all of who we are & we go to the next stage.
Contemplation becomes more apparent in our pranayama & meditation practice where more lease is given to watch our thoughts, that internal part of us more subtle than the body. We witness how they come & go just by our observation of them. Eventually the realisation comes that although we have thoughts, those thoughts are also not who we truly are.
Bliss is what arises next on the realisation that the joy of life doesn’t arise from the thoughts and sensations of the body. But that the experience of simply having a consciousness from which to experience all phenomenon is the fountainhead of ecstasy, a place that we can go to any time we rest our disciplined mind there. Key here is knowing that this bliss is independent of external stimulus & felt when in a meditative state.
