Svadhyaya & Svatantrya

Through the practice of yoga we study ourselves very intimately. Self study - Svadhyaya is one of the niyama's as stated by the 8 Limb Path of Yoga. By studying ourselves, our reactions, our thoughts, our habits, our dreams we learn to better understand ourselves. This self awareness allows us to return to our true nature which is Svatantrya - Ulitmate Freedom. We are free to change our lives, to get a new job, to leave an old job, to wear whatever colour we want, to be a free thinker and spirit. Freedom is your birthright.

Om peace,

Creating space

I quit a teaching job today. I was at this place for over 2 and a half years. It was time to leave and I knew it in my heart. I can only work if my heart agrees, if not it causes me to wilt inside. By leaving that job I feel like I created space for the universe to present me with a new opportunity to grow. I will be patient.
