7/24/2021: Daily Dose of Inspiration

“Frequency, precision, and intensity is what makes Bikram Yoga successful.”

~ Emmy Cleaves

As the saying goes, “you can walk a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.” Well, my friend, that’s what it’s like with BeneFIT’s Yoga. A good studio provides all the necessary elements of Bikram’s formula, but it’s up to you what you make with it.

> How often do you do practice?
> How carefully do you incorporate the details in your practice?
> Do you give it your all?

Do your part, my friend, and BeneFIT’s Yoga will transform your body, your mind, and your life.

And have no doubt, it’s worth every ounce of sweat.

“Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren’t always comfortable, but they’re never weakness.”

~ Brené Brown

Yes, it can be scary to let yourself be vulnerable, my friend, but on the other side of that fear is where your life will blossom. Love, acceptance, honesty, authenticity, compassion, and more are all there just waiting for you to let your wall come down.

Find the courage to test it out and see what happens. And remember, the bigger the fear, the bigger the gains. Have faith.

“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding. Find out what you already know and you will see the way to fly.”

~ Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull

Your physical senses will only get you so far, my friend, as they can only perceive the physical. But there is a part of you that is of, and fully connected to, the infinite intelligence of the Universe. This is the source of your extrasensory perception (ESP) and true freedom.

Every one of us is born with the innate ability to tap into and utilize ESP, but unless we use it we’ll most likely lose it. Now, don’t despair. It’s not gone forever. Just like you’d build any new relationship, get to know that greater part of you by listening, tuning in, and opening the channels of communication.

There is no more important relationship for you to foster, my friend.

“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”

~ Thomas Edison

You know, my friend, another of his famous quotes is, “I start where the last man left off.” Discouragement hits hard at the 11th hour. It’s almost like its testing your desire, like it’s asking you, “do you really want it?”

If you do, you have to know beyond the shadow of a doubt that there is a solution to every problem. You just haven’t figured it out yet. So what you do? The clock has struck the 11th hour and you feel defeated.

This is the moment you’re forced to surrender. You don’t surrender the desire, you surrender control. You go to the Source of your De-Sire, you go within, and commune.

In the stillness, my friend, when you’ve released any and all tension, the guidance will be there.

“Every human being in the world is gold in the gold mine.”

~ Bikram Choudhury

As with all mining, refining, and polishing, the challenges in Bikram Yoga put us on a journey of self-discovery. In every class, as we struggle with and face our physical and mental limits, we, little by little, chip away at the judgments that have kept us encased and confined like diamonds in the rough. Our goodness within starts shining through and we begin to love ourselves again.

And, as we love more of ourselves, we love more of everything and everyone around us. It’s transformation at its finest, my friend. The whole world benefits.

“The heart’s natural love is the principal requisite to attain a holy life. When this love, the heavenly gift of Nature, appears in the heart, it removes all causes of excitation from the system and cools it down to a perfectly normal state; and, invigorating the vital powers, expels all foreign matters-–the germs of diseases-–by natural ways (perspiration and so forth). It thereby makes man perfectly healthy in body and mind, and enables him to understand properly the guidance of Nature.”

~ Swami Sri Yukteswar, The Holy Science

You know, my friend, your body knows how to be well, and it wants to be well. Wellness is its natural state. But when your thoughts keep you from your heart, from the source of love, the flow of well-being is disrupted. It’s in this way that your mind acts as your worst enemy.

You can relax and trust that all will be well when Love’s at the helm. So let your heart take the lead and turn your mind back into your best friend.

If this is difficult for you, then it’s time for class. Get back in the hot room and hand over the reins to the teacher. Let go of control and let Love flow!

“Faith is a place of mystery, where we find the courage to believe in what we cannot see and the strength to let go of our fear of uncertainty.”

~ Brené Brown

It’s nice to have guarantees, isn’t it? Where there are guarantees, there’s no need for doubts or fears or worries. You’ve got a sure deal.

But you know what else? The same thing is true with faith. Where there’s faith, there’s no room for doubts, concerns or worries. Fear based thoughts can only take hold where faith is weak.

True faith creates certainty, my friend. With your unwavering faith it’s a sure thing.

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.”

~ Steve Jobs

Not everything you do will provide the “I’ve found my thing!” sensation. But everything you do will in some way pave the path towards it.

As long as you follow your heart, my friend, you really can’t go wrong. So listen to your longings and your discontent and know that they are your soul beckoning you to more.

Remember, happiness is a choice. Determine to make the best of every situation and anticipate something even better coming along.
