Breathe Into Yoga

16/07/2023

Start with your week off with your intention. Don’t know what it is? Get quite, focus on your breath and listen for what your soul whispers to you. Check in with yourself daily to check if your intention has changed. Journal at the end of each day to hold yourself steady and accountable. Changing your mind set starts with intention. What is yours and are you living it. With love 💕

One who is able to withdraw his senses from sense objects, as the tortoise draws his limbs within the shell, is to be understood as truly situated in knowledge.
PURPORT
The test of a yogi, devotee, or self-realized soul is that he is able to control the senses according to his plan. Most people, however, are servants of the senses and are thus directed by the dictation of the senses. That is the answer to the question as to how the yogi is situated. The senses are compared to venomous serpents. They want to act very loosely and without restriction. The yogi, or the devotee, must be very strong to control the serpents—like a snake charmer. He never allows them to act independantly. There are many injunctions in the revealed scriptures; some of them are do-not's, and some of them are do's. Unless one is able to follow the do's and the do-not's, restricting oneself from sense enjoyment, it is not possible to be firmly fixed in Krsna consciousness. The best example, set herein, is the tortoise. The tortoise can at any moment wind up his senses and exhibit them again at any time for particular purposes. Similarly, the senses of the Krsna conscious persons are used only for some particular purpose in the service of the Lord and are withdrawn otherwise. Keeping the senses always in the service of the Lord is the example set by the analogy of the tortoise, who keeps the senses within.

Fall in love with your home practice!
💛💛
I have always found my home practice a bit of a chore, usually further down my to do list than I care to admit. Today I found myself looking forward to it and prioritised it. You see, I have been doing a gratitude practice and journaling my 5 different things each day that I am grateful for. This has greatly flipped my perspective on many things, home practice being one of them. I encourage you to set some time aside to just practice. It gives you the space to explore your breathe and really feel into each pose. The challenging poses I could change the internal dialogue into something more positive that served me better and stayed with the breath. Yoga is the union of mind, breath and body. It clears our energy channels and we can feel renewed each time we step on to our mats. I encourage you to fall in love with your own unique practice, why not start now?
