My latest blog post has more questions then there are answers. It's one of those days, where a thought stumped me - and in this case it's the word "comfort."
I wondered if in my own way, if I had comforted myself?
So in this post, I explore the idea of Comfort and the need to comfort ourselves.
So if you wish to be in inquiry and if you resonate with this definition of Inquiry offered by my yoga teacher, Baron Baptiste -” Inquiry gives access to discovery and new possibilities”, read on!
Heavy self-reflection first thing in the morning, but it needs to be done… This was a question that popped into my head a few weeks ago - why do I wake up in the morning?
Haven’t you ever asked that yourself? It’s more of a “ I don’t want to get up because...
The day is going to be stressful, or you are just bored out of your mind or you don't want to face people today....
Other than having to go to work or be in support of someone, why do I wake up in the morning?
Where in your Life are you staying in your comfort zone?
The thing is what's wrong with staying in the comfort zone?
Nothing!
It's safe. It's safer than not knowing what will happen beyond the comfort zone. What's beyond the comfort zone is scary! Because there is uncertainty and you're scared of what you don't know.
But what's possible beyond the comfort zone? Beyond your Edge?
Growth.
And the opportunity to test your secret super power of Courage.
The 3rd principle of Baron's Baptiste's "8 Universal Principles of Stepping up to the Edge" is about acknowledging that Growth is the Most important there is and that in order to grow, you need to accept your Fears as it is. Your fears are stopping from what you want to make happen in your life.
Are you with me or are you not with me?
I’m committed to living and breathing the 8 Principles for Stepping up to the Edge from Baron’s book - “Journey into Power"; one Principle at a time.
Are you willing to Step up to Your Edge?
The 1st principle ask that you be NOW HERE in the present moment and to let go of the stories in your head, which brings you to NOWHERE.
And this post delves the 2nd principle which gives you access to answering the HOW - if you are NOW HERE, and then HOW?
So starts my journey into sharing more about Baptiste Yoga and how it has impacted my life. And following up from last weeks on post on 8 Universal Principles of Stepping up to the Edge, taken from Baron Baptiste’s book “Journey into Power.” Every other week, I’ll explore each principle and share my personal insights and quotes from the book.
In Baptiste Yoga, there are 3 practices - Asana, Meditation and Inquiry. By sharing my story, I am in Inquiry, which is an access to discovery and new possibilities.
I invite you to be in discovery of what's possible for you by joining me in being Now Here in in your life, practice and teaching one week.
In Baptiste Yoga, there are 3 Practices — Asana, Meditation and Inquiry - practices that we want to embody ON and OFF our mat. It’s not always perfect where we can be in practice of the physicalness that will lead to the awareness and self-discovery. All we can do is to be willing to try and let be.
