wholeness quotes

 

This quote inspired me today: There is an Indian belief that everyone is a house of four rooms: a physical, a mental, an emotional and a spiritual room.  Most of us tend to live in one room most of the time, but unless we go into every room every day, even if only to keep it aired, we are not complete.

I looked up the word, wholeness, and it sounds a lot like a balanced yoga practice; “Containing all components; complete”. If you have not already read that there are eight limbs of yoga, check out one of my past posts. It is mainstream just to look at yoga as cardio. It can certainly be that, but also much more. 

Mainly for today I will say that sometimes, in a busy life, our activities are used as tools of mass-distraction.  Whether it is cramming a day full of work, shopping, gym, hobbies, gossip, whatever it is to fill time and avoid whatever is percolating in the subconscious.
wholeness quotes

yoga and wholeness

Sometimes during practice  and you are finally face to face with your body, breathing into every nook and cranny, bringing light and awareness everywhere, whatever you may have swept under the mat can jump out at you.  What you can do if this happens is not try to pressure yourself to relax, but rather honour the wholeness of the moment, take another breath, and just focus on the moment and task at hand.
