Study time...
Today's Intention: Svadhyaya.
Recently, I've been heavily cloaked. This is, by far, not the first time. However the shroud was particularly cunning this time around. Though I was deeply involved in denial and defensiveness, I sincerely believed quite the opposite, that I was in my heart and realizing my truth. In actuality, my head was running the show.
Life deals us certain moments, when the flood lights are abruptly turned on and pointed directly at our own "stuff". These are opportunities for fervent growth and a deeper knowing of our own essence.
This reminds me of the relevance behind the yogic principle of self study, Svadhyaya. The more we know about our tendencies, motivations and patterns, the better we become at recognizing those times when we are out of alignment with all that is Life Enhancing.
In my own circumstances, I must be on high alert! I have spent so much time "building my case", that it can be particularly challenging to recognize when this misalignment is underway. I am so grateful for my Yoga practice, in its varying forms, as it continues to guide me back to Love.
