Rene Descartes
the father of modern philosophy is famous for saying. “I think therefore I am.”
But yoga would take a different twist on this and say “I am therefore I think.”
This means that you do not have to be a thinking human being to exist. You are
at your highest level a field of energy that is constantly moving. You think when
you slow your energy field and allow thoughts to congeal. You let thoughts
occupy the space within your mind. The thoughts you let linger within is what
you become and what you become is constantly changing. So in a sense as you
think so you become, but you must become before you can think.
Prana the great force of energy is simply movement. For movement to construct thought you must
first make space for the thought and then allow it to materialize. Pay careful attention
to your thoughts because you are what you think and not because you think.
Yoga today -Let’s
get started. Take a breath and feel the movement; the rise and the fall of the breath.
Prana is the rise and fall that gives
us the power to think.
Pay careful attention
to what you let linger and occupy your mind. Remember first you exist as pure
energy and then you have the power to think. Use this power carefully for it
will define who you are and who you are becoming. I am therefore I have the power
to be. Think wisely.
Namaste –
may you go with health, happiness and peace.
