Actively Surrendering to the Mystery..

This Friday night saw us Yogis on the Advanced TTC come together to practice and deepen into the exploration of Bhakti, and how it’s power moves us. We began as always, with a flow together – dissolving into the sounds of each other’s breath, pulsing away in harmony.

The take away messages from our teaching this week, helped us to feel into “What is Yoga?” – the sometimes very confusing question!

The unfolding sounded something like this….

Yoga is a connection, a togetherness, a union,

With what?

The bigger energies, the infinite mystery of LIFE.

Our oneness with this life force, is TRUTH – it is totally already the case. Even if it may not be apparent in our reality right now.

Our endeavour is to take this undeniable unity into the substance of our knowing, until it is infused into our realities.

Yoga then, is both an experience of this truth, and also, a method of which to awaken to it.

And a ‘Yogi’, is simply one who applies this method in order to move “home” to this very connection.

What calls us “home”, is our ‘Bhakti‘ – Our wish, our yearning, our passion, our desire, our HUNGER to open and grow into life.

Our Bhakti will not only move us forward, but it will gradually let the things that we no longer need fall away from us, as we transition into higher energies.

This Bhakti is also already naturally within us, and it is completely inevitable that it will move us in some way.

Sometimes unknowingly, it is what causes us to re-locate, to travel, to change jobs, to save money, to do meaningful work. To wake up every day and practice.

But what brings our Bhakti totally to life, however, What sets out Bhakti on fire, Is simply, when we choose… that we want to JOIN IN!

Oms and love
