Success on any level of life — inward or outward — requires both “will” power and “won’t” power. 🌟💪
🕉️The teachings of the yamas (don’ts) and niyamas (dos) guide us to develop self‑control: saying yes to what draws us closer to God, and no to what leads us into delusion.
Swami Sri Yukteswar counsels us to “conserve our powers” and roam the world as a “lion of self‑control — don’t let the frogs of weakness kick you around.” He reminds us that “the impulse of wrong desire is the greatest enemy to the happiness of man.” ☮️
🧘♀️🧘Yoga and meditation help us withdraw our energy and attention from material desires and sense pleasures, and redirect it to the spiritual eye to discover lasting happiness within in God.✨
In Ananda Yoga, Side Angle Pose (Parsvokonasana) is a dynamic posture that realigns us with the truth that all strength flows from God.
🔑Practice it to develop inner power as you silently affirm:
“I am a fountain of boundless energy and power.”
✨ If you want more guidance, join our online weekly Friday yoga classes to experience how asana practice builds inner strength. Our June theme is “Building Inner Strength.”
