Yoga Heart & Mind E-News
March 2010
I have a firm belief that the practice of yoga is a method that makes us more attuned to our inner voice. Our task is to hear it and then to heed it. If you are like me, I hear the voice in my head a lot and a great deal of it is nonsense! Things like worry, anxiety, guilt, rehashing conversations, etc, etc, etc are simply clutter, very annoying clutter. Our real inner voice comes from deep within and it is how we attune to our inner truth, strength and integrity. Our inner voice helps us move through life in a positive, purposeful direction.
Our yoga practice helps us declutter. It is freeing! We clear the fog and as we experience clarity - even if only for minutes or seconds - it allows us a window into who we truly are, our deepest self. And it is very, very powerful and empowering.
I think when faced with challenging situations that create uncertainty, there is usally a sense or a "gut feeling" of what we should do. Let's say we ignore it, after a while we might feel more of an ache or a louder voice (sometimes that voice is someone else's!). Ultimately, if we don't heed it, then there is usually some sort of scream or internal shouting. But if we completely ignore it, then the shouting disappears. It's not that the challenge disappears, it is just that we no longer hear the signs. We live in denial and ignorance until and unless something happens that forces the issue. Usually, upon reflection we can trace the messages along the way. Hearing and heeding our internal truth takes practice.
Have compassion for yourself, respect your true inner voice, your inner wisdom. It is a gift within you.
