Step into your Power

No doubt there are forces at work well beyond our cognitive awareness! Even the most sophisticated of scientists & the wisest of elders all admit that they are brought to their knees in humility when met with life’s mystery. The acceptance of ignorance in ourselves is not an excuse to be defeated but rather an opportunity to step into our power.

Our tendency towards goal orientation can often weaken us, for sure it works for certain personality types in terms of motivation but my feeling is that if we can learn how to celebrate the mystery of ‘it all’ we begin to see that the process is the prize! When we play with the concept of the Yoga Practice woven into the Life Practice as an ongoing process with no beginning or no end we can reveal to ourselves a much more powerful type of artistry, meaning we can step into our power in EVERY single given moment without expectation or disappointment, this, my good Yogis is called being present!

To unpack this further let’s look at the human brain, it is wired to invite reward so much so that we have conditioned our societal value system to the worship of winners, so that said, what if we, in our Practice (Yoga/Life) re-calibrate our thinking so that we become so attuned to the value of the present moment above the finish line that we consciously feed the instinctive need for validation & completion with a recognition of this refreshing mantra: THE EFFORT IS THE VICTORY. When we look at the macrocosm or the big picture in this way, our perspective can immediately shift, our fears spontaneously dissipate, thusly allowing us to be so present that all challenges, even death itself is seen as merely just another moment…ah! and there we are, stepping into our power like it is the best pair of shoes we could ever imagine! enjoy your Practice, it in itself is the reward.
