Asana
Posture - focus on physical posture of the body in observation, not judgement, to limit reactivity.
A yoga flow is composed of postures, as translated from the Sanskrit word “Asana.” The action taken in the state of Asana reflects how one is currently creating one reality.
This is clearing obstructions in the human system by observing the repetitive cycles.
A muscle begins to atrophy after 3 days of inaction. The physical body is made from breathing patterns. Breathing moves subtle energies made of mental perceptions (karma). The intellect protects the centered position of bliss. The subtle energy is composed of perceptions the mind has formed to inspire longevity.
The two main principles of asana in yoga are steadiness and ease. Reactions can then alchemize into responses. Yoga is yoking back to our natural state of bliss. Think of an egg.
Observe your breath and mind after setting up your yoga posture to reflect on how you are currently showing up in life. The seat of the observer, without judgment.
A yoga posture is prescribed in the East rather than pills to clear barriers within the human design. Observe the patterns of tension in the body with transparency for liberation of those tensions. Things are empty in and of themselves, you charge the thing with a focus on the thing. Tensions can come in many forms with a similar underlying current. The thoughts that arise do not identify you unless you identify with them. Coming from the seat of observer, understand what was never yours in the first place.
The yoga posture, when practiced traditionally, can heal the deep wounds that were left forgotten. When deeper levels of consciousness are uncovered, it can get intense mentally, emotionally, and physically. Take classes from an experienced teacher. Always practice grounding and caution with deeper levels of yoga.
It’s the moments of weakness
when every cell in your body wants to die
This is growth.
This is where strength from the inside out is cultivated.
