There are so many ways we can experience life, and each experience creates a ripple .We get to experience our own ripples that we have created.
I have been working on turning inward, and as I have been doing so My guides have been directing me toward Yoga, This has been going on for years. I would practice yoga ,then get bored and set it aside, pick it up ,put it down, not really understanding the full scope of what my guides where guiding me to. At times I thought it was for exercise, and flexibility, then I thought, maybe I am to teach yoga and become a yoga instructor, but there was something missing, I just couldn't seem to understand why my guides kept turning me towards yoga.
I kept searching my feelings and wanting to understand yoga on a deeper level. Not just yoga as physical exercise, because I would get bored and quit. I went on a search and thought maybe I am to take a certification class and become an instructor. I began to look into schools and quickly found out that financially it was way out of my range. I didn't give up the idea of wanting a deeper understanding of Yoga ,I did want to become a student of yoga in my own right . I began searching for books that tought the history of yoga ,the meaning and health benefit of the poses, and and all that yoga had to offer as a path to deepen myself to become closer to spirit. Little by little over time the information started coming. My yoga practice started coming alive for me ,each pose meant a journey inward. Each time I went to the mat I listen to my higher self as to what I should do ,I watch inwardly as to what my guides are showing me .What am I releasing ,what needs healing ,and how to move into a healing space with love, letting go ,aligning myself with my spirit ,and inner child.
Working with strengthening my digestive system physically and energetically. Becoming whole in a way I have never been before. As I was reading a book that I found on yoga called The complete yoga book by James Hewitt.He began to speaks about the Chakra system and referred to our energy system as 'Rays" This took me to a whole new book that I had bought about 5 years back and liked it but never really read it, in fact I bought most of the series of of Dr. Joshua David Stones books. (Esoteric Psychology and the science of the Rays and Chakras of God:Compilation Volume II )
In his books he talks about the Rays and how we are connected to a certain Ray ,and each life time we come into the world on that Ray. Dr. Joshua David Stone books are Ascension books.
This took me to waken dreaming and to my studies at American Institute of holistic theology that I have been working on.( this is when I feel in love with sound healing)
Now my yoga practice has taken me to a in depth journey into my self ,and a journey not one school could have given me. My learnings come from with in as I am guided book by book , and experiences that seem random ,but further down the road they all meet and make complete sence.
I hope you find your inward Journey fascinating , and filled with mystery and awe as I find mine. Enjoy !!
