Coming home to the self.
Whether you realize it or not, you THINK with your mind, you FEEL with your body and you KNOW from the depth of your being. To test this out, focus on a troubling situation and then ask yourself, “What do I THINK about this? What do I FEEL and what do I KNOW for sure?” You receive three different answers!
Your feelings reveal more about you than your conscious thinking mind. And, what you KNOW, well you just KNOW! You don’t KNOW how you KNOW—you just KNOW.
“Our emotions are in our body,” scientist Candace Pert told Bill Moyer in the television series, Healing and The Mind. Looking shocked, Bill Moyer repeated, “In our body?” “Yes,” said Candace, “In our body. They (emotions) are neuropeptides that reside at the cellular level, in our tissues.”
Yoga increases our ability to access FEELINGS. Otherwise they get lost in overwrought everyday thinking. However, conscious thinking does have its place. It’s useful—after the fact—to check if we, indeed, are on the right course. But when it comes to making important decisions, whether we realize it or not, most of us act from
our feelings.
