The secret key to the yoga practice
Life taught me one thing — the only person you can rely on is yourself. As a smart human being I projected this lesson to every part of my life. I knew I was capable to deal with what was on my plate if I kept being guided by my principles and stayed honest with myself. “Me. Myself. And I.” — the story many of us share.
It sounded like a good fit for yoga too. There was nothing complicated: bend, breath, meditate. You can read it in every book: the whole universe is in you and you are the whole universe yourself. Boom. Sounds fantastic. Nothing is needed, just yourself. Do few exercises and there you are, yogi in the pure form.
It is true we are the whole universe. We own self-driving cars, we can measure the mass of the black holes, life expectancy almost tripled in the last 100 years. However, in the everyday life we are deeply-focused, occupied with our own ambitions, ego-driven individuals. Not all of us for sure. Maybe just me. But limited in first place. And only after the “whole universe”.
Another thing, not everyone who can bend, breath, or meditate is yogi. The yogi state suggests one becomes limitless. Anyone became limitless in yoga class? I hope so, not me :)
So I started reading, it helped, but there was tons of info. Mainly not useful at all. As many of us do, I tend to get advices. Advises…
