Yoga In Mandeville - Insight & InspirationI consider Swami Nirmalananda Saraswati as my Guru and look forward to her monthly contemplation articles. At first I found it difficult to evaluate someone’s article that I hold dear to my heart. With thoughts and feeling her in my heart, I then decided to let my Self express. You may want read Swami Nirmalananda’s Contemplation Article this month at www.MasterYoga.org in order to understand my comments which can only come from my own experiences. Nirmalaji once taught to me in a Bliss class to always remember an experience that has brought you in, (like she describes in her article), experiences such as chocolate, sex or hot tubs, or instruments such as violins, flutes or tamboura’s can all take you into to your Self depending on your experience. A particular experience for me was on a vacation in Yosemite National Park, at a waterfall up a canyon. A beautiful Rainbow magically appeared as I was overlooking the waterfall. The feeling I had at that moment was indescribable. It truly touched my heart and tears of grace flowed. This experience no doubt pulled me into this place of bliss, it was so vast and indescribable, yet so peaceful. I knew I wanted to know more about that place inside and experience that feeling again. I used to have a very active mind. One, that at times, was extremely hard to quiet. Svaroopa® Yoga has changed my life. I can attest to all the yogic practices. I am still working very hard at staying within my own essence and freeing myself of limitations. Fears, desires in every day life and attachments can deceptively take me right out of my Self. I can say though, once you have had an experience of Your Self, you will always find a way to come back Home. The way for me is to do more yoga.
