Inner World of Yoga – Day 22

What we’ve learned so far about healing and transformation:

discomfort, pain, suffering, anxiety, conflict, negative emotions, fears, e.g. anything that is not joy means something needs to be seen and addressed
to see something means we already have within us a solution to an issue and getting unstuck
body~mind~spirit is one entity and holds all the answers we need, we just need to unlock them
growth and healing do not happen by accident, and we must be fundamentally involved in our own process
the eight limbs of yoga are a roadmap to healing and growth, providing universal truths, practices, and guideposts
self-perception can make us or break us – faith is essential and develops by staying with awareness of our condition
mind has 4 responses: 3 are forms of escape, and only 1 is in the moment and sees reality
there is a methodology and process for personal growth. Growth Process Formula:

desire + intent + teachings + practices = rise of inner knowing and growth

Today’s practice has two parts.

Part One: Contemplate the above points, and answer the questions below, writing down what you see within yourself; feelings, impressions, memories, connections, and thoughts. Just write what you feel – do not self-edit by analyzing or applying concepts to what you see.

What burdens do you feel you hold within your physical body? Pain, weight, lethargy, hyperactivity, guilt, shyness, fear, remorse, negative emotions, etc.
What is the predominant “mind-movie” that inhibits your forward momentum?
Which negative emotions in your relationships, including relationship with yourself, cause the most suffering for you?

Part Two: Write down three questions you have about the process of body~mind~spirit in relation to wellness, healing and transformation, and the issue to which you most desire an answer/solution at this point in your life.
