“Yoga” means more than physical positions. “Living Yoga” means to awaken to your own highest potential and to see oneself as part of the greater life of all. “Living Yoga” brings calmness, intuition, health and vitality to daily life. Hatha Yoga (Ananda Yoga) enhances meditation as “meditation in movement.” Combined with the Life Force control techniques such as the Energization Exercises (tension exercises), we learn meditation in stillness and meditation in action: thus, meditation “all the time!” The more we live centered in the Self within, the greater is our ability to joyfully meet the demands of everyday life.

✨ Keys to Higher Awareness – Day 9 ✨

Key #9: Embrace Awareness
“Don’t merely wish for broader awareness: Embrace it. Never fear it. The way out of life’s difficulties is not to deaden one’s consciousness to them, but to see them always in relation to broader realities.” – Swami Kriyananda

Reflection
True awareness demands courage and active participation. It's not enough to merely wish for clarity or insight; we must actively welcome each experience as an opportunity to expand our consciousness. By embracing awareness, even challenges and obstacles become valuable teachers, guiding us to perceive life in its fuller, richer context.

🧘 Practice Tip
Today, pause for a few moments throughout the day to observe your thoughts, feelings, and reactions without judgment. Notice how awareness alone can bring clarity, calm, and insight into situations that previously felt overwhelming.

🌟 Invitation
Awareness grows through practice. Explore how yoga and meditation can help you deepen your clarity and inner calm. Learn more about our weekly offerings at Anandawa.org

Dear Friends,

There are many changes happening in the world that have the potential to occupy our minds with worries. Paramhansa Yogananda tells us that by practicing the techniques he shared and through our attunement to him, we can be free from all worries and learn to "stand unshaken amidst the crash of breaking worlds!"

The courage to stand "unshaken" comes from a deep place of calmness, for it is of the soul.

Heart Song Hermitage is a place of calm refuge, a place to dive deeply into the heart of silence, where calmness and courage reside. Change then more easily can be welcomed and embraced!

Join experienced Ananda Yoga and Meditation Teachers Lynne Steele, E-RYT 500, YACEP, and Mina Jiwani, E-RYT 200 for this ground-breaking first weekend retreat!

Say Yes to life! And make it snappy!

If you have what seems to you a good idea,
welcome suggestions concerning it, but protect it also, like a tender plant, from anyone who, like a bull running loose in a tulip field, would trample on your enthusiasm.
