"Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self."
Bhagavad Gita
Attending yoga out in the private garden, I way lying on my back looking straight up into the trees. The sun was peeking through as though it were seeking connection. My body gently faded away, and a peaceful feeling spread through my inner being. How wonderful to be free of human form and chaos!
There was no feeling of imperfection or a striving to be in a particular state of mind. There was no movement to replicate a yogi's pose. There was just a stillness that gently opened passageways where I could simply find myself ... non-descript. It was a sacred experience of non-physical enhancement.
This was not an expensive retreat nor a well scripted class. It was a spontaneous nudge to lie on the ground, to break my routine, and commune with nature. I was called to let go of intention and lose focus. It required only a silent awareness floating both within and outside of my lovely self. Indeed, a journey worth taking.
