Yoga in Daily Life: Planting the Seeds of Peace
Yoga in daily life is a holistic practice uniting physical postures with social action, inner peace, and universal love.
Yoga in daily life extends beyond āsanas and prāṇāyāmas to include social activities that unite hearts as a bridge. The system is based on human anatomy, physiology, psychology, and culture, tolerant of all beliefs. It supports ethical education. Postures like Kathuprāṇam strengthen the body, improve immunity, create humbleness, and grant peace of mind. Forget the past, forgive, and set visions to love, unite, understand, forgive. Positive thinking nourishes the senses with positive vibrations. Be like a flame, humble, bowing to take divine energy from the earth. A tiny seed grows into a large tree; efforts will eventually flourish. Love each entity at least as much as oneself. Hate the sin, not the sinner. Breathing practices like mild bastrika purify and energize. Relaxation and mantra repetition bring awareness and lightness. Be an instrument of divine light, stretching as a bridge from heart to heart. Peace is welcomed through humbleness, surrendering, accepting. Solid resolve achieves everything. Greet the Divine Mother Earth and bring energy to the universe.
“Love each and every entity. If not more, then at least that much, as much as you love thyself.”
“We hate the sin, not the sinner.”
