Today’s observed feast of the epiphany honors the three Wise men who followed the star in the east to find the sweet baby Jesus in the manger. Bringing gifts of frankincense, gold, and myrrh, they welcomed the tiny babe into this world. The story inspires our own journey, following the light, offering gifts and witnessing miracles.
In today’s society, we use the term epiphany to describe moments of keen insight, observing the light within, shining on our path forward. In yoga, we cultivate our witness state of consciousness so that we may be able to withstand the light. Strengthening our bodies, remaining flexible, and balanced as we intend makes us a more fit vehicle to see the light and act in alignment with it.
What do you require to be able to withstand the light of your own being? More strength, flexibility, balance, or intention? Ki to Happiness requires time and space to practice.
