My source is the source of all creation Her discourse is that we all don’t survey The skies right before, right before they go grey My horse is a shackled old man His, his remorse, was that he couldn't survey The skies, right before, right before they went grey

MEDITATION //
Sit. Take a few deep breaths. Then contemplate the following:
What are you avoiding?
What is something you are avoiding right now?
Think about the thing… a task, a person, a conversation.
Something you know you should do, because it feels like the right thing to do.
Now think about the resistance to doing that thing. Not the thing itself — the feeling of resistance that is standing in front of the thing.
You are not avoiding the thing, you are avoiding the feeling of doing the thing. Or, the feeling you think doing the thing will make you feel.
Practice using the body to train the mind.
Practice feeling discomfort in the body, so that you can experience overcoming that discomfort when it’s not practice.
One day, that discomfort will end.

Ancient wisdom contextualized in modern understanding.
Spirituality rooted in awareness, not control.
A mindfulness practice with kinesthetic application.
In other words: If your body or your mind is fucked up, yoga will help.

The deeper you go the clearer it gets. Facing yourself is the journey to discovering who you truly are. Embrace the process of self-exploration and watch how much more of yourself you can find.
