I'm so honored and excited to be able to have communication with others through our own Ask the Experts blog here at TheHolisticOption.com.I've written extensively over the years in my own newsletters and other publications about how to manage stress, wellness and of course, Yoga and meditation. There is even a Yoga of writing! As in traditional Yoga practice the student always kept a "Kitab" or "Sadhana" journal. So, I hope that you will start one too, if you don't already have one. I hope to chock this blog with lots of tips gleaned over 40 years.
We could say there's a Yoga of Everything, because the very word Yoga refers to "harnessing together" or "the Yoke that holds together". Whether it is a team of beautiful, gentle oxen that are often seen along the roadways and paths in India or whether it is a an athletic team, organization or work staff, the common Yoke that holds them together beyond the immediate goal, is their ability to concentrate and work together in meaningful and synergistic ways or the dynamo of success comes to a halt! Wherever you are right now, looking for ways to be a better part of this Yoke will not only improve your work environment, but your health as well. In order for Yoga practice to be able to fit into the new paradigm, we have to be able to apply it's principles beyond the asanas and even beyond our own meditation. If we cannot apply the laws of flexibility of the body and mind to our work or our families, we are not completely understanding the meaning of Yoga. If one oxen should get away, the team is weakened and so it is with our minds if we are not using the extant philosophy of Yoga to improve every aspect of our daily living.
My teacher always taught that it was not necessary to look like a Yogi, but to act as one so that in blending in harmoniously everywhere, others would learn by example of my conduct and the vibrational quality of my presence. At work, take a couple of minutes each day. Make a commitment to begin each day by sitting, eyes closed, and focus on gratitude for the smallest things such as, safe arrival at work, the water cooler working, the blue sky, not waking with a headache (even if you did!). Just practice gratefulness for 2 1/2 minutes every day working up to 24 minutes. You will see your entire world begin to change day by day, because your vantage point will be from a higher place. I call this Time Tithing®.
