Happy New Year!
There's just something that feels very auspicious and exciting about 2011, isn't there? It's as if there is a sublte electrical charge infusing the planet and even the air... I find myself thinking, "I can't wait to see what's going to happen next!"
Many people consider the recent winter solstice / full moon / full lunar eclipse to be the event that signaled the beginning of the Age of Aquarius, an age of humanitarianism, enlightenment and global harmony. If the increase in people practicing yoga, meditation and green living is any indication, I think we are indeed headed in that direction - yay!
In our Bikram Yoga practice, we often find our attention focused on the physical, the "hatha" part of the yoga. However, there is another powerful aspect of Bikram Yoga, and that is the "raja" part of the yoga. Raja yoga brings us the gift of mental discipline. When we come to understand that our thoughts are magnetic and creative, the value of mental discipline becomes very, very apparent. There truly is no such thing as an insignificant thought. Every thought you have is infused with the creative power of the Universe and will manifest in form, some way, some time, some how. Yeow!!
