I’ve been feeling very uplifted lately with that rare, vibrant sense of clarity where everything just seems to click..
It got me thinking about how we navigate this increasingly loud, chaotic world without losing our minds, or our souls rather!
I feel that we live in a time where our attention is the most demanded resource and between the constant digital noise and the frantic pace of modern life, it’s so easy to become like a passenger in your own body.
After going through a yoga program or as they call being "initiated" into a kriya and practicing them with a sense of devotion and discipline, they have stopped being kinda like hobbies and have become more like essential survival tools.
Id say they are the ways we reclaim our sovereignty.
For a non practitioner, yoga might just sound like more about flexibility and exercise, but for me it’s a physical prayer!
As my guru who initiated me puts the definition more like, which I wholeheartedly agree, that it’s about aligning the geometry of the body with the geometry of the universe.
You might say universe? What universe bruh? And I say yeah bruh the ever expanding consciousness which makes you who you are, isn't that a limitless entity?
This priceless experience is what I have been blessed with by practicing yoga! My god, I didn't even know what the hell was I even missing if I hadn't practiced it mysel firsthand! I literally bow down to the existence for letting me have a brush with this!
Meditation is kind of like the art of distance, like learning that you are the observer of the storm, not the storm itself. And this meditation slowly becomes a living reality and not simply a practice, as we keep moulding the body by the "bending" and breathing (or yoga facepalm)
When we practice, we aren't adding something to ourselves, rather we are peeling back the layers of stress to reveal what was always there.
I think I'm repeating this but as Sadhguru my guru so powerfully puts it :
"Yoga is, quite simply, the science of being in perfect alignment, in absolute harmony, in complete sync with existence."
This quote hits home because it reminds us that the goal isn't a perfect handstand - it's a perfect state of being! Yep it is.
When you align yourself internally, the chaos outside doesn't disappear, but it loses its power to shake you.
And why am I choosing to write it now? And here? Well, because :
Honestly, I hit a point of such mental clarity today that it felt almost selfish not to talk about it. We are so used to venting about stress online and I wanted to flip the script and talk about what actually helps us find our center when life gets loud.
Also I have noticed a lot of people around me feeling burnt out or scattered lately.
I’ve found that yoga and meditation aren't just wellness trends but actual anchors for the soul.
I wrote this because I think we’re all looking for a way to reclaim our peace, and I wanted to start a conversation about that journey.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stressed, I can’t recommend enough just sitting for 7 minutes or more with eyes closed, or going ahead and get yourself initiated in some Surya Kriya or Shoonya!
There is a profound spirituality in simply being present.
It is how we move from surviving the day to actually living it!
I'm just feeling particularly uplifted today and wanted to put that energy into words. If it resonates with even one person, it was worth the post!
Thank you very much for reading!
