Find your Centre...

'Find your centre...' you may ask ~ 

"what is your centre or how do you find it?" 

Your #centre is the intangible place within your very being at your core, or for the tradition of Yoga the heart centre that mirrors the pure radiance of you. This centre is your sanctuary, a place to rest, reflect and take refuge in, and you especially feel it if you allow your mind and self get out the way. For some it may be a place where you connect to God, or the god of your own unique awareness  or your higher Self. the practices of Yoga helps you to (re)connect to your centre, the vinyasa flow is a meditation in motion, pranayama allow you to connect with the vital prana, life force within, calming the mind and taking you inwards.

The symbolism of the centre is ancient, a primordial symbol of returning to the source; for us ultimately what we all seek or truly long for us to return to the Oneness that is experienced when we return to  the centre, that feeling of coming home, to ourselves or feeling totally grounded and at ease in life.

Life pulls you in all the 10 directions… these are the 8 compass points plus there's above and below; this is the same for the mind on a daily basis, would you agree your mind swings back & forth going off on tangents, thinking about the past or future, seeking the meaning of it all as you try to grasp the best direction to take?  yes? well in the midst of these 10 directions as you seek to navigate your way through life and stay on your path or indeed find it, most forget the centre point, which isn't above or below or to the sides. The way back to #balance in life and in you is through your centre, the point within where heaven & earth meet, it's the sanctuary within that's is always available to you and offers renewal so you attain the natural equilibrium inherently yours.

This week at YogaRelax through the practices I invite you to explore your journey with new eyes,  navigate your way back to the centre, then take refuge there and connect to the essence of you. I invite you to follow yr breath and allow yourself to move from your centre. As you dwell in this sanctuary space at your centre and learn to abide more n more there, it reassures you, deepens trust in your intuition and allows you to connect deeply with the Bhava, the feeling and listen.

If you drift, this is normal, just be patient and compassionate to your self,  know this sanctuary of light is always there to return to and re-connect within. Through the practices you will recognise how it feels within your body, so you breath into it and from this space exhale with gratitude as you come home! Jai! 

So much more on your mats and also I will encourage you daily with inspiration on my YogaRelax Facebook Page or my Twitter page 

Enjoy the journey to the centre of YOU!

Namaste
