This is one of my favorite quotes. Participating in the practice of yoga which is deep breathing, movement for our bodies and meditation to move towards more clarity. So going back to that quote ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world’ requires action and awareness. Yoga does help with those things. In studying yoga you come to understand that there is growing clarity and a shift in your perception. You may come for physical benefits but you quickly see there are emotional and mental health benefits due to the power of the practice. I often will go into a class and my mind will be cluttered, loud or cloudy and I will come out of class with more awareness and clarity. I am able to “see” more clearly. If we return to that quote ‘Be the change you wish to SEE’ requires that we see clearly first and foremost. Then it requires us to move towards some action step. To move towards a more harmonious peace of mind and then bring that peace into our world. I am reminded also of this living quote to be an answer to prayer from Jesus who prayed ‘on earth as it is in heaven’. This was his vision and mine as well. The practice of yoga not only shifts our mindset but helps us better relate to those that are in our world. So go be the change YOU wish to SEE in the world.
