Awakingminds yoga What is Vedanta? Vedanta is one of the world’s most ancient spiritual philosophies and one of its broadest, based on the Vedas, the sacred scriptures of India.

It is the philosophical foundation of Hinduism; but while Hinduism includes aspects of Indian culture, Vedanta is universal in its application and is equally relevant to all countries, all cultures, and all religious backgrounds. Vedanta affirms:

The oneness of existence,
The divinity of the soul, and
The harmony of all religions. A closer look at the word “Vedanta” is revealing: “Vedanta” is a combination of two words: “Veda” which means “knowledge” and “anta” which means “the end of” or “the goal of.” In this context the goal of knowledge isn’t intellectual—the limited knowledge we acquire by reading books. “Knowledge” here means the knowledge of God as well as the knowledge of our own divine nature. Vedanta, then, is the search for Self-knowledge as well as the search for God. What do we mean when we say God? According to Vedanta, God is infinite existence, infinite consciousness, and infinite bliss. The term for this impersonal, transcendent reality is Brahman, the divine ground of being. Yet Vedanta also maintains that God can be personal as well, assuming human form in every age. Most importantly, God dwells within our own hearts as the divine Self or Atman. The Atman is never born nor will it ever die. Neither stained by our failings nor affected by the fluctuations of the body or mind, the Atman is not subject to our grief or despair or disease or ignorance. Pure, perfect, free from limitations, the Atman, Vedanta declares, is one with Brahman. The greatest temple of God lies within the human heart. Vedanta asserts that the goal of life is to realize and to manifest our own divinity. This divinity is our real nature, and the realization of it is our birthright. We are moving towards this goal as we grow with knowledge and life experiences. It is inevitable that we will eventually, either in this or in future lives, discover that the greatest truth of our existence is our own divine nature. Vedanta further affirms that all religions teach the same basic truths about God, the world, and our relationship to one another. Thousands of years ago the Rig Veda declared: “Truth is one, sages call it by various names.” The world’s religions offer varying approaches to God, each one true and valid, each religion offering the world a unique and irreplaceable path to God-realization. The conflicting messages we find among religions are due more to doctrine and dogma than to the reality of spiritual experience. While dissimilarities exist in the external observances of the world religions, the internals bear remarkable similarities. According to the Vedanta teachings there are four paths we can follow to achieve the goal of understanding our divine nature. These paths are known as the Four Yogas. We can choose a path based on our personality or inclination, or follow the practices of the paths in any combination.

IF you MUST focus inward…

We do go through different versions of ourselves.

Same at the core, but we’re learning new lessons all the time.

Who in your life has seen you through some of these changes,

And has been there for you in the ups and downs of life?

Drop a 💕 & tag the first person who comes to mind…

There is something so beautiful about having long-term friends that have witnessed multiple versions of you and loved you unconditionally through each version - Unknown

If a situation does not support your growth, think twice about giving it your energy.

If you walk away, you have time to heal and recalibrate for something more meaningful, more in alignment with who you are becoming.

Remember, you are not your thoughts. It takes courage and foresight and a belief that something better is possible.Your challenge is to visualize a different/better future. With daily practice, you can train your brain to orient towards it.

Drop a 🧡 if that sounds good to you!!

Never forget that walking away from something unhealthy is brave- Unknown

"If you put shame in a Petri dish, it needs three things to grow exponentially: secrecy, silence and judgment. If you put the same amount of shame in a Petri dish and douse it with empathy, it can’t survive," Brene Brown.

Instead of not discussing what is causing you pain, find the courage to talk about it - with an empathetic friend, a therapist or someone who you trust. With awareness and practice.

Little by little we become better at being healthier. Little by little, we get comfortable with our new selves, so we don’t self-sabotage. Little by little we see ourselves differently in the mirror.

So... sending love to all who are struggling to overcome. Sending love to all who are taking the shaky, baby steps. Sending love to those who are talking instead of keeping it all inside.

Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.- Eckhart Tolle

Seeing the best in what you have now has the chance to transform you. It has the ability to modify your daily perspective and boost your happiness. You'll have more emotions of satisfaction and your relationships will likely improve as a result of complaining less and appreciating more.

Gratitude has been shown to boost an individual's well-being and happiness in various study investigations. A thankful person is more pleased and joyful and does not concentrate on the negative.

Gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation are all part of perceiving the good. It's a mindset, a point of view, and a way of life. It is also a choice to see the good. Choose to recognise the good in your daily life. Be thankful for everything you have. It is beneficial to take a few minutes each day to reflect on the bright aspects of your life. Allow yourself to be grateful and give thanks.

Do you take out some time to reflect on positive things in your life?
