This is yoga

We start by practicing yoga with no idea of what really is, if we have an idea that idea has to constantly change if not, we didn’t understand a thing.

The only constant thing in the universe is change. 

The most known and approachable practice this days is asana. Bending the body in all kind of way, twisting it to another and while you do this you discover with every posture new things. You increase the resistance of body, you become lighter in mind and body, you will levitate one day 🙂 Levitation not necessarily in the way of lifting of the ground flying, but flying sensation, everything is easy, walking, thinking, doing nothing you are in a “high-mode state”.

Sometimes some thoughts and memories may appear, that you never knew still existed, sometimes you discover small adjustments by yourself (* and later on realize where discovered before 🙂 )

Sometimes small things as breath, or feelings that you had no idea you can generate without consuming or using something from outside of you.

With every practice as deeper you go as more focus you get , you realize is not about bending the body and going in amazing positions, the practice moves to a more deeper aspect. But this is a temporary adjustment, with your practice you are moving towards a permanent state.

Every posture is a feeling, every posture has a consequence. Like in life every action has a consequence. You realize that whatever you practice on that small carpet,is actuality your life, with your limitations, with your beliefs (* which most of them needs to break) you realize that actually you are simulating your life and dealing to the best of your abilities that day.

You deal with being lazy :)) problems in actually doing something with yourself, pushing yourself, having a discipline, moving from compulsiveness to conscious actions. An investment in the future, not years 🙂 future present. Because what is present now, dosn’t work for you.

 Is there a difference of how we experience  a thought or the consequence of an action? A diference in between stress in trafic stress at work stress i don’t now where, is it not just the same stress at different levels?

This is not about managing stress, but creating the good circumstances that you experience it less and less, until stress becomes a fairy tale.  Or stress is not something you fall in to 🙂 you put yourself consciously,you can start it and stop it at will.

Because freedom means you get to do whatever the hell you want, go in an out when you want at will. If not you are just a prisoner, if you cannot get out you are a prisoner. Even if you are in the most wonderful castle, whit everything you wished for, even that castle has a door. So you can get out when you want. If not you are a king, but in a big prison. 

Anxiety feels the same either on the mat or in the world. Anger is approached the same way either on the mat or in the world. Panic attack, love, patience, gravity, missing, or wanting everything there is to experience can be experience on the math or in the world.

You can generate the same kind of reality or world inside. Experience-like there is no difference.

If you learn how to deal with them on the mat, you learn to deal everywhere, the mind makes no difference, stress – ok go to the breath, anxiety whatever it is you are dealing with it at a daily basis on a mat.

I see people coming to practice, the first minutes they are moving like crazy, watching their phone not finding their place, watching around they can do anything but not sitting, they have to move. That is their mind in that present unsteady unfocused monkey mind.

By the end of the practice they look like stoned. Still as a rock focus, calm as a tree and they can get either very focus or totally spaced out in relaxation. A tremendous difference in 1 h of practice.

Practice it every day and you realize, realize, that actually it is all you, there is nothing else than you. That the only way out is to look in. A relationship or the world is going to go bad not because of someone else, but because of you.

Whenever you fall in a state, you don t like, you know what it takes to get out, next time you recognize the action and deal with it better. You just learn every day how to deal with yourself, how much bullshit you have been given to yourself, by listening to others or not paying any attention to you.

You will drag all your craziness with you until you learn how to deal with it.

It is not a vacation place, or a country, or a new job, a better job, a new car, a new something-something that will grant you the escape ticket from your state, yes for a period it will work but after you re back at square one. Until you deal with it, paying attention, understanding it and doing the necessary adjustments to solve it.

Reality is : ” it is all your fault and you know it, you feel it. You are not upset on others but on you. It is your responsibility towards everything.”

Your responsibility to manage yourself. Everything comes from an unconscious mind, alcohol bad modes, indigestion. Even if you had no awareness you have the duty of knowing how you work and how the world works.

Only doing the good things, good things will happen to you.

On a certain situation I had difficulty with the law of one country, being unaware that doing some actions can bring prison or a big pay to the state. The person managing me said “You have a duty written in the constitution that you have to know the laws of the country, it is your duty to know your rights and duties. You cannot say I was unaware and escape the consequences.”

 The same duty you have to yourself, in this world. First learn the laws and the consequences and only after do action.

But the way we go is opposite. We do and then see what comes :)) it is not going to work. You are damaging yourself and suffering in heaven. This is heaven and you make hell out of it.

Is like going and killing someone, and you say, well I didn t know I have to do prison, or death penalty for that. Either you know or don’t you will pay the consequences.

So is life, like it or not, you not paying attention to the world, yourself, or doing any work on yourself, you will pay the consequences.

So a stressful life, a bad marriage, a job who sucks, anything you like or dislike, your whole life is only your doing.

Please, please, please start paying attention and don’t bring misery to others because of your own silly and unaware action.

Start making a better world by not changing another. Start changing yourself, transform and the whole world will change with you.  A better you a better world. 😀 :*
