When I move my body consciously with a full breath I become more present to my circumstances. When I first experienced yoga in a class as a 9 year old, I felt equal to all the others in class. Over 50 years later, I have the consistent experience of feeling more present to myself and equal to others as I practice.
When I employ particular breathing practices for specific purposes, I am empowered in the awareness that I am free to choose my breathing pattern and with it, my mind. Quieting my mind with meditation, I receive guidance regarding all situations. My yoga, may be yours, too, without a brand or a gimmick.
What helps you feel present, empowered, and equal to others? How do you quiet your mind and receive guidance? Ki to Happiness soothes her soul by practicing yoga.
