Yoga is both a state & a practice (to move towards the state of yoga). I extend an invitation to read this explanation of the authentic path of yoga by SIVA OM 🙏☺️

Those of you doing yoga, or those of you struggling with your thoughts, I have a very important message for you. Please do read till the end.

Yoga is a path on which the body aligns with the mind and the mind aligns with the soul. When this happens you reach a state of union with the whole universe. At this point whatever you project happens instantly within the universe, yes indeed, such is the state of existence of yogis that their manifestation abilities become instantaneous.

Indeed this journey is a long and tedious one. While many of you start the journey of yoga for the physical reason, however I do plead to you that please do not do yoga for physical benefits, and if your instructor/teacher can’t give you more then please replace him/her instantly. The physical benefits will happen automatically when you reach out for the higher consciousness. However if you’re focus remains on the physical benefits then you will never reach the higher stages of the path.

As a matter of fact yoga begins only once you enter the mental realm. Before that is just the preparation.The universe is seen as a projection of the ego which is a part of the mind. This is why two people react differently to rain or a music concert. The whole process of yoga is to remove the clutter and chaos of the noise in the beginning stages. After this we bring the mind into silence so as to not get disturbed by your own thoughts and ideas which may perhaps act as a barrier to a better life.

The yogis understood that ego which causes separation and duality needs to be done away with if we are to enjoy the pure bliss of unconditional love. Some do talk about this unconditional love in various ways but it indeed rare to find such Nobel souls, even rare are those who are willing to teach it for they might be great but might not be greatly equipped teachers.

Seek the guidance of such a guru for if you have read till this point it means you are ready, else this message wouldn’t have come to you and don’t forget Doing yoga for physical benefits is as useless as taking a space ship and putting it in your backyard to dry clothes.

Outstanding fundraising effort 🙏 & an inspiration to be a part of. The comradery by all involved was inspiring & many a hilarious moment had. On a serious note: There's not many out there that don't know someone affected by breast cancer; and while it's said that we are spiritual beings having a human experience we do need to maintain our 'vessel' (body). So... please follow recommended health screening guideline & get any changes you notice checked out (all health issues & all genders!). Lecture over 😉😁

Yesterday was well and truly the BREAST COMP EVER 💗thank you to our surfers, our helpers and the community for coming out and helping us We raised over $50k for Breast Cancer research and care for our current battlers!!! 🤩🎉 the energy at the beach and in the water was electric and every person was smiling!! This is what surfing is all about: having fun, sharing waves with new friends and supporting each other 💗thank you everyone 🤩🏄‍♀️💗

What is challenging you right now? I don't know about you but 2021 sure has been a doozy for me. I have been tested with my health both physical & mental. I'm not sure how I would have got through this without the teachings of yoga & ayurveda. There is strength & perspective knowing that you are a tiny part of a greater whole - a drop in the ocean of consciousness. And here I am with a beautiful posie of cosmos flowers from one of our Kula (our yoga family). Gratitude is where I'm at 🙏 Tuesday practice is back on the mat at Woodburn tomorrow (Thursday TBA).

Laid open Mortality has been faced yet again & I've learnt a few more things about myself along the way. AND right now all I can say is I am grateful.

Grateful for my son, grateful to be back on the mat this morning to share the teachings & for our yoga kula coming out in the rain to practice with me (& those who couldn't make it).

Let's live from a place of gratitude rather than a place of lack...What are you grateful for right now?!

To be in service to others we must make sure we take the time to fill our own cup. Looking forward to getting back on the mat with our yoga kula (family) this week ☺️
