Let Your Inner Light Shine |
Light is a natural force that provides illumination through darkness. It stimulates sight making objects visible. Light is also a vital component of reflection. It can describe an emotional or physical state of being, suggesting levity or heaviness -- an indication of gravity or weight. Light can be the spark that ignites a flame or initiates transformation. In yogic terms, think tapas -- the inner fire that purifies, strengthens, and builds resilience through steady devoted yoga practices.
At a time when the world felt a bit heavy with recent shockingly tragic events, I visited the Upper and Lower Antelope Canyons in the Glen Canyon region of Arizona for a personal retreat and reflection. Located on Navajo land, these underground canyons have been shaped over centuries by monsoon rains and the transformational movement of the wind. Light shines through the narrow slot crevices illuminating the stunning sculpted forms of the canyon pathways with vibrant color to offer an experience that is both humbling and magical.
While the journey didn't eradicate the troubles and chaos of the world, my experience was deeply uplifting and transformative--much like what we can discover through the practice of yoga.
May your days ahead be filled with light and may the flame of your yoga practice (sadhana) burn bright and strong as we move forward into the New Year! Let your inner light shine!!!
Yours in health, as always.
