Think of a wild wind, tossing the branches of trees in a forest. Imagine a calm mountain lake on a still winter’s day. Picture the flash and crack as lightning crashes. Look up at a crescent moon in a clear sky. Nature is wild and serene. And so are you. Take a breath…
Breath is wild and magical, like lightning. Let go of your civilized self and welcome your wildness, your storms. You are part of nature, part of the earth … Lightning is flashing in the body. Breath is moved by a spark of electricity. Thoughts are waves of subtle electricity flashing through your body and brain. Your heart beats every second or so, and each pulsing of the heart is incited by a little spark of electricity. Welcome it all. Revel in it, as you would the rain if you were a farmer…
Consider this thought: “Nature is wild and serene, and so am I.”
(From The Radiance Sutras, by Lorin Roche)
Embrace your inner wildness and discover true serenity with yoga.
