In Anusara Yoga, one of the most fundamental methods is to align with grand, universal forces as the foundation for our lives. We all seek truth, wisdom and freedom; and we do so with greater ease when our efforts are in tune with these essential forces. As a yogic strategy, we cultivate an awareness of how these energies flow and play out in our lives. By intuiting and learning how these forces organize themselves were able to navigate the undulations of life with greater aplomb.
One such fundamental energy construction is the paradigm of three. Triads are essentially omnipresent. Whether its the triad of the great religious traditions, the audible sounds of the sacred Om or simply the elements of each breath; the wave-like creation, refinement and dissolving is with us in every moment of every day. Thus, recognizing them and their wave-like properties is not only efficacious, but can be truly and magically transformative.
Well apply myriad triadic frameworks through meditation, asana and, of course, what we do off the mat.
Join me on this Triadic Adventure andRide the Wave!
