Yoga was my gateway drug to uncovering and rediscovering myself. 🧘🏻♀️
To say Happy International Yoga day, would not feel like I am giving the practice the true gratitude it deserves.
For the longest time, since I was a child, I have been on the path of trying to understand why I was here…always having this niggling feeling that I was here for something greater. It was way before I knew what purpose and passion meant, but it was this deep felt sense.
As I traveling through life, I couldn’t seem to get this desire and feeling to go away. You could say I was a seeker, curious about life, and thirsty for knowledge. I had dappled with yoga here and there in college for the physical benefits, but it wasn’t until 2019, when one experience truly transformed my life and shifted my trajectory.
Yoga is the union of the body, mind, and soul. It is the union with SELF-soul essence. Through the power of the breath incongruence with movement..you enter into a state of meditation and get to receive a glimpse of your true self, your higher self, or the self that is untainted by your upbringing, society, your personality, and life in this body.
It is in this felt sense of your true self that you can experience true bliss or Ananda. Many of us get a taste or begin to see improvements in daily stressors and keep our practice going with these shifts, but for some reason in 2019, I was able to experience what felt like HOME.
This was it.
This was what I had been seeking all along…this is what it can feel like to truly LIVE.
The doors flood open and I began the journey of getting to know my true self, getting to come back home to safety within my body, so that I could experience true love and connection with self and other.
Meditation and breathwork transformed me and if it was possible for myself and the insane shifts I have experienced these past five years..I know that it is possible for us all.
To see life through a new lense and to truly love the life that we have to live.
Thank you yoga, for bringing me back home❤️
