YOGA FOR THOUGHTS

THANK YOU. Choose Love. Namaste _/\_

A film by www.innerworldsmovie.com SAMADHI is a word in Sanskrit that hasn't a proper translation. But Pantajali - the grand master and creator of the yoga philosophy - once said that Samadhi would be close for those who were committed to their meditation practice. As many yoga teachers mean, we need to have TAPAS. A discipline is an essential tool to a yogi since the very ancient times. Samadhi can be pure ENLIGHTENMENT. That moment of pure awakening that many of us felt before either during meditation or during 'real life' when sometimes that unexpected wisdom arise and pure love unfolds when we need it. And we feel that we are enough and have enough. No need for searching anything. Just being. Enough said. Watch this excellent movie and understand not only why we do yoga and meditation but also why we do every little thing we do. BE CAREFUL as we are talking about DANGEROUS CONTENT THAT MIGHT CHANGE YOUR PERCEPTION FOREVER ;-) The big risk is that you can experie...

The mantra is like music because it opens the door to our soul and is also pure vibration. Can be a prayer depending on the intention that one brings to it when chanting.  But not all of them are prayers related to the Hindu Gods or Goddess. Many mantras are songs related to nature and the abundant universe that surrounds us. Some are related to our consciousness. The mantra on this post is a simple one that salutes the Sun: "Om Suryaya Namaha." I feel a deep connection with this one as those words: salute to the sun; have been part of my everyday life since 1999. When I first stood on a yoga mat and did my first "Surya Namaskar." It says it's supposed to bring positive vibrations. And I can tell I'm a total life proof of it. "Om, dear Sun, I'm so thankful for the amount of joy and vitality you bring to my soul and my journey. It's been an honor, and many times a challenge keep saluting you 'pretty much' every damn day." W...
