Yoga with Brooke

Paramahansa Yogananda taught that Jesus Christ was a supreme yogi and master of the universal science of God-union, revealing a hidden, yogic path within the Gospels that aligns with Eastern spiritual traditions, emphasizing deep meditation and direct communion with God, which Yogananda called "Christ Consciousness". He believed Jesus's esoteric teachings, similar to Kriya Yoga, were for attaining divine realization, and Yogananda's mission was to reintroduce these universal truths to the West.

In Yoga, the five kleshas—ignorance, ego-sense, attachment, aversion, and clinging to life—are not abstract philosophy. They are the root causes of all inner disturbance. Patanjali teaches that every fluctuation of the mind, every anxiety, every compulsive habit, and every obstacle in meditation grows out of these five.

By learning to recognize them directly in one’s own experience, the yogi gains two essential powers:
1. Clarity — you begin to see exactly why the mind behaves as it does. The patterns stop being mysterious or overwhelming.
2. Freedom — once seen, the kleshas weaken. Their unconscious force dissolves, and the mind naturally becomes calmer, lighter, and more inward-turned.

Understanding the kleshas is therefore not optional; it is the diagnostic tool of Yoga. It tells the yogi where suffering originates and how liberation becomes possible. Without this insight, practice is blind. With it, every step of meditation becomes more skillful, direct, and effective.

HOW TO PROCESS YOUR FEELINGS — A LIFE-CHANGING GUIDE TO HEALING FROM WITHIN.

In a world that constantly pushes us to “be strong,” we often forget that true strength comes from understanding ourselves deeply. Emotions aren’t weaknesses — they’re signals. They’re messages from within, guiding us toward clarity, growth, and peace.
Here’s a gentle reminder on how to truly process what you feel instead of carrying it silently:

🔹 Pause
Before reacting, take a moment to simply stop. Breathe. Acknowledge that something inside you needs attention. Awareness is the first step toward understanding.

🔹 Name It
Give your emotion a name — anger, sadness, confusion, joy, fear. When you label it, you separate yourself from the feeling. You realize, “I am not my emotion; I am just experiencing it.”

🔹 Feel It
Allow the emotion to be there without judgment. Don’t fight it or suppress it. Let it pass through you. Healing begins when you give your feelings the space they’ve been asking for.

🔹 Ask Why
Every emotion has a root. Explore what triggered it. What wound did it touch? What pattern is repeating? Understanding the “why” brings emotional maturity and inner freedom.

🔹 Release
Let it out in healthy ways — through deep breaths, journaling, talking to someone you trust, crying, or simply allowing time to process. Holding emotions in only makes the burden heavier.

🔹 Shift
Once you’ve honored the feeling, redirect your energy toward something constructive — a walk, a hobby, a conversation, gratitude, or stillness. This is where growth happens.

✨ Remember:
Healing isn’t about avoiding emotions — it’s about learning to move through them with awareness and compassion. The more you understand your inner world, the more peaceful your outer world becomes.

Take care of your feelings.
Take care of your heart.
It’s the only place you truly live.
