What makes yoga practice especially interesting is that you’re working with your own energy field. Yoga isn’t merely stretching this or that muscle, but affecting the way your energy flows.
Just as action manifests results, so do thoughts and emotions have their own results. Before something manifests physically, it is a thought or consciousness, some other type of primal energy.
When practicing yoga, we are changing the way that energy flows to and is expressed by our muscles and tissues. You will feel the changes in these areas of your body almost immediately, but what is really happening is that you’re changing the underlying energy pattern.
Over time, regular yoga practice improves the way your energy flows, and this changes the way in which you experience your self. You will come to find that as you become more attuned to the way energy flows throughout and about you, the more choices you have as to how the world looks and how you’d like to interact with it.
One of the best things about yoga is that you’ll find it often feels more like a returning to your natural self, as though you are learning something that is already familiar. Tuning into how energy flows through us taps into our inborn creative life force. As you learn to open to the creative forces in life you’ll feel more alive. Seeking good feelings will make you happy!
