The purpose of a practice is to help the individual to achieve longevity, rejuvenation and self realization.
Yoga is the method by which the restless mind is calmed and the energy directed into constructive channels. Movement is either conscious or unconscious, gathering prana in energy channels to ignite our inner fire to purify. Vinyasa yoga seeks to make it conscious in order to attain the greatest conductivity of energy in the body.
If thought had form and color could we imagine any scenario we perceived to be beneficial and go in that direction?
The eminent choice we all take either consciously or inadvertently. If you had the choice I’m sure you would choose the ability to have a choice. Only the tortured soul enjoys having their version of an ill-perceived “no choice”. The state of victimhood or martyrdom could be considered rampant in a society that places greater value on ego than experience. There is a fine line between creating your reality from a belief or believing said reality to be true, hence making it so. Allowing the expansion to be one of your choosing, for it is within that we must sort to enable an external reflection of the same, or Source.
We have all individually progressed only so far without the insightful reflection of others. We gain our experiences through interactions with our inner selves and others. Our continued growth toward self expression is realized already, if we choose to perceive it or not, on some cellular level. So basically you are everything you’ve ever wished to be, all those possibilities are already realized it is merely a formality and totally up to you to decide whether or not to play the game of manifesting that reality…or not.
We have infinite organizing power. For those that truly believe they are inherently unorganized know it is their belief structure making it so. Of course there are certain physical agreements this lifetime that would govern the belief of flying would need to be supported on the physical level, so remember to use a parachute to support your belief. You can build your parachute on the way down, but be aware of the time constraints. Make your vision a reality by taking on a challenge of your own.
Only you know what truly needs addressing so let us begin there, with a connection to obstacles so we can consciously address each issue with joy, instead of hesitation.
Do not falter for the wave of conscious life will crush you if you doubt your ability, no your very birthright, to be free. It is universal law that all humans have free will. When that is taken away there will be a great upheaval of ancient societal norms. A new time of light has arrived for those prepared to embrace it. Evolve or die as you once eloquently stated. There is much wisdom to be enjoyed once the illusion of separateness and division has been blurred. Help blur the lines by being the multi-dimensional being that you are. Choose your reality…or it will choose you. ~higher conscious

Yoga appears to improve immune function in part by lowering levels of the stress hormone cortisol, and yoga asana may boost immunity by improving the circulation of lymph, a fluid rich in disease-fighting white blood cells like lymphocytes.
Yoga encourages healthy behavioral change to long-term health…the best overall preventative medicine there is.

The great Egyptian fertility goddess Isis is a potent symbol of the alchemic transformation. She alone was the possessor of the secret name of Ra, the Egyptian ruling god, giving her unlimited magical powers. A growing awareness of the magic within yourself. A yearning to grow beyond perceived limitations. You are able to transform your life through the strength of your originality and power—all you need to do is own it. Renewed creativity and vigor.
When the body’s stress response system is activated, tension in muscles increases which by itself can cause pain.
Back muscles go into spasm and cause pain because of mental tension ~ Dr. Sarno
Asana movements help back pain by improving the circulation that brings nutrients to the intervertebral disks while removing toxins.

Sarasvati, the Hindu goddess of knowledge and culture, is the embodiment of true wisdom. Sitting upon her lotus throne she symbolizes spiritual knowledge as well as the refinement of the arts. An interest in spiritual knowledge. A teacher who will share with you what you seek–or perhaps you are that teacher. Wisdom gained in a graceful manner.
This benevolent Navajo corn goddess symbolizes the ever-changing, ever-fertile earth. Like the earth itself, Estsanatlehi appears as a young maiden for the spring and summer months; as the wheel of the year changes to fall and winter, she changes in age to a crone. Feelings of fertility and abundance. A new relationship which celebrates one’s growth as a woman. Creativity. A pregnancy.
Freyja, the Norse goddess of creativity, love, and beauty, shows that true power lies in the ability to discriminate between aggression and passivity—and the ability to choose between them at the right time. The ability to use power wisely. Awareness of one’s power. The ability to lead and inspire others. Knowledge of how to “work the system.”
It is understandable that you have been in a growth cycle, as has everyone.
It is the path of least resistance that you are unwinding. The commitment to self has been established and is not going anywhere but closer to your dreams. Allowing the intricacies of life to serve as a lesson instead of a punishment. Sit and watch nature with your loved ones for they hold the key to collaborative thought forms. Elevating the level of integrity with every foul, base move by someone full of hate. It is going to be an equal expression of love and hate. The greater the love the greater the hate. All that is does not discriminate. All forms of expression will be felt, seen, and heard.
The expression we most need to concur ourselves with is the psychic connection. This shall be the unifying factor when all else seems to collapse. We will still have our minds, the greatest gift on earth to have a healthy vessel, a high level of comprehension and functioning of the mind. These are attributes that will take us into a new shift in consciousness. Breathing and being present is taken for granted by many. Enjoy the awakening for it will come rapidly and feel quite abrupt.
Relish the days of connecting with self and others through communion with nature. The outdoors is friend to all but ironically not always friendly. When you go into the woods you prepare and are ready with all your gear. It is the same in life, prepare to go into whatever path leads you onward. Relax into self. All else will fall into place. ~higher conscious
