Change is Vital to Growth

There is no need to fear it.



Consider for a moment becoming the best version of yourself. When you ponder that idea, what obstacles do you encounter?

Perhaps the idea of becoming a "different" person is scary. I put different in quotation marks because letting go of useless habits does not mean you will be a completely different person. You won't suddenly dislike your friends and family. You won't spontaneously become a vegetarian and want to sell your TV.
You may begin reducing the amount of time you devote to TV and start paying closer attention to your nutritional intake. You may wind up understanding your friends' and families' points of view better and discover more patience.

This week I want you to know why you are afraid of change. What do you really think is going to happen if you start making changes in your life?

This is a prevalent attitude in our society. Don't dare do anything to disrupt the "American way of life". Change is fought by fearful people and has been for as long as I know of. Even when change is going to benefit people, it is railed against.

Ruts are very comfortable. I know all about it. I only ask that you take a look around yours every once and a while and see if it's the best thing for you.

This week's asana is designed with vyan vayu in mind. Vyan is the energy movement in the body that circulates throughout. It is said to be the governing force of the circulatory and lymphatic systems.
