Yoga philosophy teaches us that there are four classical goals in life - dharma (purpose in life), artha (the means to accomplish your dharma), k**a (pleasure) and moksha (liberation, true freedom).
Learning to honour all four goals is key to achieving fulfilment in life.
Moving towards the fulfilment of each of these goals requires energy - what Yoga calls Prana. More specifically, it depends on a form of Prana known as Udana.
Udana is the energy within that helps us to reach these goals in life. It helps us to take action, to be expressive and to find liberation.
While these ancient goals and energies have guided humanity for centuries, today’s modern lifestyle presents new challenges that can disrupt our natural flow of Udana energy - one of the biggest being our constant connection to phones and social media.
So how do you know if your Udana energy is in balance?
Your phone - probably in your hand right now - is one of the biggest drains on your Udana energy 🫣
Persistent dinging, doom scrolling and information overwhelm overload your nervous system. All of the mental clutter is overstimulating and exhausting, and disrupts Udana's role in maintaining clarity, focus and uplifting your energy.
You might take countless photos for a single post, editing, filtering, adding quirky comments and trending music to create a perfectly curated image - while unintentionally stifling your genuine self-expression. Distorting or suppressing your true voice can drain Udana, leading to blocked or inauthentic self-expression.
How about your posture? Most times, we're slouched or hunched over when on the phone, physically restricting the chest and throat areas where Udana flows. This weakens the natural upward movement of Udana, diminishing vitality.
Udana is our main positive energy, yet a lot of the time we're unconsciously suppressing this vibrant, motivating force.
If you’re seeking more lightness, creativity, and inspiration in your life, now is the time to nurture this subtle energy ✨
Because we all have important things to do in this life, and it's crucial that we all have the energy to do this ❤️
