1. Yoga Helps You Find Life Purpose
Yoga can help guide you to rebuild your love of self by decreasing your stress hold and turn you energy from tarnished silver to gold. Energy is vital to help you find your passion, your purpose in life.
You may have asked, "What is my purpose? Why am I here? How can I know what my purpose is? It's really quite simple. Think in terms of passion. Not only in the usual sexual way - but in what really, really turns you on. That is your passion, your love - why you are here. We were all created to do our special thing, as unique as we all are - each with our own fingerprint - your purpose is yours and yours alone. Whether it is doing yoga - feeling your body, mind, spirit connections - reading - playing an instrument, listening to music - your passion and purpose are the symbiotic twins, the eternal connection to a life rich with love.
2. Yoga Helps You Rediscover Love of Self
Love is the height of pure energy translated into a total acceptance of the wholeness of yourself and others. A magical experience. It actually transforms you into an elevated state. By getting in shape, you are essentially saying to your partner and all those that love you, I love myself enough to take care of my health and I want to be around a long time to share my life with you. From the moment you realize you love yourself enough - a paradise lost is regained. Those seeds of wholeness - given to us at creation are within us. Use them and become aware of everything you were meant to be. You were placed here on this earth to have a purpose, not to sit idle and allow your mind/body to decompose. That saying, when you don't use it, you lose it, is very true.
3. Yoga Guides You To Find Your Deepest Truth
Your life was not a random event; it was a gift of love- God's love. Knowing who you are, how you can use your energy to put love into the world, you are fulfilling your purpose, age being no deterrent. At each stage of life, each decade, we become a different part of ourselves. It is there, at birth, but it needs time, to roll out, like unfurling that gorgeous Persian carpet you fell in love with at first sight. And now that you've walked on it for all these years, it has not lost its magic. Such is life. Living longer than ever before, we live our deepest truths, enjoy our total freedoms and love by giving our gifts deep within ourselves, to others. We are not here only for personal gain, but to magnify love, openness and depth. You have discovered your deepest truth. Live it, love it. Just as Yogi's practice Sayta - beholding truthfulness - you are capable of flourishing with your own truths. What are your truths? Why is it so hard for you to get the weight off? Go ahead, find your truth, and answer it - the weight will come off. Give it everything you've got. That's your life - in bloom.
