Awareness of the Self

A good friend of mine called me the other day to share with me the following reminder: "When the position becomes uncomfortable, note how your ego/self wants to be released from the the discomfort. Observe this truth without condeming it or identifying with it. Keep your mind relaxed. Let your soul tell you when to end the meditation."

Awareness of the self and releasing discomfort not only applies to your yoga practice but with any situation in your life that is uncomfortable. It could be a relationship or job, a living situation or even way of life.

Use yoga and meditation to become aware of your self. Release your ego and let go of the oars. Follow your inner vibrations...float downstream rather than struggling upstream.
