RE: 1,500 Words of Triumph: What Influence Has Yoga Had On Your Life?

in #yoga7 years ago

I meant to comment on this the other day when I first read it. Really amazing to see what people can do with their lives when they work out the garbage and find something to connect with! I have often had that same fear of what evil may lurk under the surface (I honestly think that is the mercury), but also there is a mental component to it as well. I thought if I ever acknowledge anything bad about myself I would turn into my parents and that was totally unacceptable to me. I have learned so much from all of you @gardenofeden about who I am and how to use/accept that to move on to something even better. You inspire me to have better health because I really did love it when I was doing yoga and I want to be back in that place and frame of mind!

Life is a crazy place!!! Or perhaps more accurately, the human mind is a crazy place...It's absolutely incredible how bad we can scare ourselves with just our thoughts, and I know I for one can construct elaborate scenarios to reinforce any emotion, and then I can totally believe them without realizing there is little outside of myself to substantiate it. It's both a blessing and a curse, and of course it all depends on perspective...or so I'm learning :)

I'm honored to inspire - it makes everything I went through make a little more sense. And you know how us Virgos just LOVE for things to make sense!!

Yoga is always worth practicing. The benefits it adds far outweigh any perceived "costs". I don't know why I forget that, but I fall in and out of habit of regular practice & I can tell a difference in how I feel.

The good news is that if we can use our power of mental projection to create these disastrous crap realities, then we can do the same with wonderful and positive things!
