Yoga is Light
The more we practice and cultivate our light, the brighter the flame.
The busy mind is described as quieting down through a number of ways: lengthening the breath, concentration on objects, or on experiences in deep sleep or dream states. It is also suggested that the mind can be quieted by concentration on the ever-present source of light that is believed to dwell inside the human heart. This light grows brighter when we do practices – each practice brings us closer to our inner light, the source within.
Perhaps a gentle meditation this week of imagining the light with each breath, and practicing this mantra which is one I share with my Reiki students, I am the Light, The Light is within me, the light surrounds me, the light protects me, I am the light. Say this three times and notice how you feel, much lighter I hope. Replacing any heart "hurt" with light, gently consoling the inner self with this warm and beautiful light. Take the light with you where ever you go.
