Awakening

Filed under: shakti's writings — @ 2:46 pm

When surviving stops fulfilling us

And chasing our instincts starts exhausting us.

When DNA becomes only a small part of what we are

And “human nature” no longer feels like who we are.

This is when the seed of spirituality opens up.

Sending new stems into our empty hearts,

Golden flowers shaped like question marks,

Hanging from the branches, shimmering in the light

Spreading heavenly fragrance from another time,

Where we were free of our forms, shapes and minds.

Yoga Attire

Filed under: All About Yoga — @ 3:42 pm

i am very interested in yoga. In fact, I am representing yoga in a contest i am entering. In looking through your website, there was a lot of unique clothing in the pictures.. I was hoping that you would be able to provide any advice to me as to where i could buy clothing like that shown on your site. I don’t feel that lululemon and other clothing companies really show the cultural and historical components of yoga, which is what i am hoping to represent in this contest.

I greatly appreciate any help you could provide,
Thank you so much for your time,
S

Dear S
The cultural and historical components of yoga cannot be represented in a contest, as a contest is the exact opposite of what yoga is all about. The moment you represent yoga in any connotation of contest, the yoga vanishes and all that is left is a poor interpretation of what westerners perceive as yoga. In these cases the spiritual yoga discipline gets replaced by sexy clothes, trendy yoga mats, and spaceship-like bottles of water.

The traditional attire of the yogis is their state of consciousness.

Namaste
