ARE YOU A SERIOUS OR CASUAL STUDENT OF YOUR LIFE?

APRIL 30, 2009:  Do you find it easier to say Yes or No?  Fundamentally which do you say more of during the course of a regular day?  Yoga is learning to align with nature rather than resisting it or trying to over control it by saying No all the time.  This spiritual practice is about saying YES as the first response to what life is offering us today in each and every moment.  See for me today is the most important day ever.  Can it be for you? Can you be more committed to living in the YES ZONE? 

 

What this would mean is that you are making the promise to yourself to become a more serious student of your own life.  I know the word Serious has been given a bad rap sometimes because we often think of it as meaning: Solemn; Somber; Stern; Grim; Humorless but that’s not it only.  Instead think of the word SERIOUS as meaning:

  • Important
  • Momentous
  • Significant
  • Vital
  • Sincere
  • Genuine
  • Honest
  • Determined
  • Deep
  • Profound
  • Meaningful

So in this light do you live your life saying Yes as a serious student acknowledging the significance of each precious moment, the deep meaning of each breath the profound effect of each though?  And then take it the next step.  Are you a serious student of your job but just a casual student of your spiritual life?  Isn’t it more important to be serious students of our lives (which is not related to our work life)?  If you are trying to make this shift to serious student of life and need support then get to the yoga mat.  Yoga stretches our mind muscle, it teaches us how to connect with ourselves and accept the sense things make or make sense of things as they are.  Its like working a puzzle which requires concentration and persistence in our bodies and in our hearts. It is not achieved with casual apathy at all. 


So today start with the answer YES to all questions and fall in love with being a serious student of life, not matter what flows in your path my friends!. With heartfelt hope for more YES in the world. Namaste.  Love your life! Silvia   (Check out the Movie YES MAN, super funny!)
