Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, the one day of the year…
The Yoga of Awareness
Sat Nam,
What an incredible couple of weeks it has been, leading to that amazing solar eclipse last week. I woke up just as the eclipse was happening over the US and I could feel the electricity of this energy pulsing through me, it was intense!
Ive realised over the past few years how receptive I’ve become to the energy around me, to my own energy and the energy of others and I have Kundalini Yoga to thank.
Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of awareness and we practice it with our eyes closed so we may become acutely aware of ourselves within that moment on the mat without outside distraction. This type of practice allows us to form a relationship with ourselves becoming aware of our physical body and its capabilities, our mind and the self talk we give ourselves and the power of our spirit/soul.
When I first got on the mat I practiced in a certain way and over the years I watched my practice evolve as I evolved and I realise one day that how I embrace my practice is how I embrace life. In the beginning it was going through the motions and emotions with full force beating myself up if I gave up and pushing myself all that harder next time I was on the mat. Nowadays I’m more relaxed about my practice, being aware to flow through each posture and meditation rather than attack it whist still challenging myself, keeping up, showing myself compassion and learning to surrender to what’s being taught and allowing it to work it’s magic. I’ve notice that this change has also followed me into life. I’m no longer tackling life like a bull in a China shop, I now move more with the flow of things. As I am and always will be a work in progress this has its ups and downs, but I know this much, through this yoga I will become more and more aware of who I am and in turn more aware of all that surrounds me and that’s something to work towards.
