I practice Hot Power Yoga and I LOVE it for so many reasons. I feel mental, emotional and physically clean. I love how fluid my body feels. That feeling of being on the edge of learning something new about myself I hadn't know prior to the next posture is exciting. I always feel different in each Yoga class. I love the way my senses come alive, the air smells so pure when I walk outside after class. Sunday morning of this past weekend I attended Yoga class (Portland Power Yoga- Maine) and experienced myself, my mind in way that I had not noticed before. What I realized is one of the very best ways to learn about yourself and understand your mind is on your Yoga Mat. In a very powerful way. Maybe that's why it's called Power Yoga :)
Yoga takes you deep within creating a opportunity to expanded yourself one pose at a time. The life force of breath stokes your body to heal, expand and move forward. On the yoga mat a lot of information about yourself and your mind is revealed. Thoughts and feelings come up. All sorts of thoughts, feelings and sensations. I discovered that being able to let my thoughts pass with no attachment (thinking this is right/wrong, good/bad, enough/not enough, can't do/can do, etc) created a amazing open space for me to witness my fullest potential. I was free from any painful thought and I absorbed my feelings and actually felt them, free of restrictive thinking such as fear, self doubt, etc. This was true freedom. Being able to let my thoughts pass and surrender to what I was feeling created an experience to learn more about myself.
I learned that...
I can be uncomfortable and move forward to experience life more deeply.
I am not my thoughts.
When I deliberately choose to think positive good feeling thoughts my energy level soars and I connect to my essential self.
I will always be good and I am already more than enough.
I have everything I need. It is inside of me.
Fear is just an illusion.
When I choose to say YES the magic happens.
Love is present.
Life is colorful.
Thoughts pass when we don't attach to them.
In good thoughts we create tons of feel good energy and fantastic experiences.
A quiet mind will create a silent sweetness that will lift your soul.
I encourage you to get on your Yoga Mat to learn a little more about yourself, your resistance, your potential, your being and inner strength. Doing something you haven't done before is a great way to know yourself. What needs to be revealed to you will show up. The answers come from within you. Getting a little uncomfortable will help you move through a situation that feels uncomfortable to you. You will learn that you will survive the sensation of being uncomfortable and move to a place of freedom. If your in transition, feel stuck, question why you're not doing what you know would be good for you, or in a dead end situation work/relationship etc. Get on your Yoga Mat to allow your truth and answers to come to you. My hunch is you'll be surprised what you learn about yourself!
Much Love,
Karen
