When you think you are about to break apart and instead you break open. What's inside is a revelation. Something you didn't think was possible. I've learned this often in my yoga practice. I can also apply this to lots of things in my daily life and in the world right now.

When it feels like you are struggling the most, hold on. Keep strong. Something new is about to be revealed. 🕊️

The picture is a version of utkatasana (chair pose) as described in the book 'Pure Yoga' a commentary on a translation of Gheraṇḍasaṃhitā. The following picture shows a little combination which I tried and the final picture is the book.I love stumbling across old yoga books in charity shops.

Over time, the teachings have evolved. Physical tone and fitness are the dominant aspects.

The joy in reading these older texts is that we get a glimpse of the journey yoga has taken. We can sample and practice more pure techniques.

Yoga is a sacred science, with practice, we can benefit not only physically but mind, body and soul.

Limiting self belief.

Balancing on my forearms was never on my bucket list of things to learn. Until one day in a class I kicked my legs up and realised it was a lot easier than it looked. All it took was an attempt (or 2).

Before this I'd have thought it took years of training. But a little balance, some upper body strength was all I needed.

The world is just full of seemingly impossible possibilities. Often the only thing that makes them impossible is our own limiting beliefs.

We each have the ability to create wonderful things. Sometimes you just need to kick your legs up and see where it takes you.

Your mind is the user interface and you are the user.

Does your brain send you thoughts like your phone sends notifications?

I get a constant stream of these all day and pay attention to some that I don't need and could choose to ignore. Once you pay attention to a thought, it opens up into more, connected streams. Just like when you receive a notification on your phone. You open it and then find yourself, scrolling or googling. Sometimes many minutes later, you forget what you'd been doing previously.

If you find your mind wandering in meditation, or any time of the day, remind yourself that you don't need to pay attention to every thought. Swipe it away or save it for later.

Your mind is the user interface and you are the user.

Transitions can be difficult. Often uncomfortable. Like a plant being pulled up from its roots.

You might feel as though you will never get there.

You might feel like giving up.

But if you stop now, you could be stuck here, or life will find a way to reluctantly push you through it.

If you've ever given birth or reluctantly ridden a roller-coaster, you might remember the feeling. The more you fight against it, the harder it becomes.

Just keep going.

Because there's every chance you are transitioning into something beautiful, new and amazing.

Just keep going.

"What you think you are is a belief to be undone." Foundation for Inner Peace, A Course in Miracles

We define ourselves by what society, history or our parents taught us. By investing in these perceived limitations we might find ourselves living a life that has already been carved out for us by expectation.

Meditation is one way to help lift your perception to a new level. With practice, your definition of who you are can be expanded.

Through integrating your consciousness with infinity. You could learn that you too are infinite.

Sometimes we find ourselves in the most difficult position. When all we have is hope that it will work out OK. When all we can do is breathe through it, knowing that breath alone isn't enough to solve this conundrum.

Then what do we do?

We breathe anyway. Because life finds a way.

The flowers will open in spring, the sun still shines behind the clouds and our bodies keep breathing.

If all we can do is allow life to occur through the impossible chaos that surrounds it, then we have survived the day. And we will try again tomorrow. With hope.

We all have an abundant supply of love to give, it is the one thing that we can never run out of, it is endless.
Love does not need to be transactional.
We have learned the habit of giving in order to receive something in return but surely something as abundant as love can be given freely?
When you keep love in a pocket, there is only one way in and one way out. But if you allow it to flow freely, you will always feel it.
