Your Journey Begins

 

The Atma Yoga journey begins with your heart. The heart is the wondrous force that drives you to improve, to excel, and to love. The question for some of us is how do we tap into our hearts? How do we open our hearts to what is possible?

The first thing to consider is that the heart is an agency of feelings. To access the heart we have to be willing to feel. In order to feel, we have to be consciously aware of our bodies. We are inside of this magnificent vehicle, and we need to take responsibility for it. This means we have to recognize ourselves as separate from our bodies. This is the first step in opening ourselves up to the realm of the heart.

 

 

Your relationship with your body

The more we learn to feel and experience the sensation in our own bodies the closer we move to the real of our heart. It is in this part of the journey that we can heal and improve our self respect. The more we learn to see the body as a gift, a magical tool that we can use to navigate the material plane.

 

 

Your relationship with others

From the people that are a closest to you to the people that your pass by on the street; the more you understands that you are not only not your body, but that you are also not your mind, the greater your ability will be to explore, to love and to contain within your heart the person before you

 

 

Your relationship with Spirit

What is that which lies beyond the edge of all expression, just outside the grasp of comprehension? What is that intangible but clearly perceptible phenomenon we see in the eyes of some one we love? Is that the evidence of soul? Where do souls come from?

The answers to these questions lie on the other side of the body and the mind. This is the inconceivable, infinite, always fresh, always mysterious realm of Spirit. Yoga is a portal to Spirit.
