Inner Body
Live in the NOW. Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now and A New Earth, suggests posing this question to yourself throughout the day:
"What is my relationship with the current moment?"
Since life only happens in the current moment--not in the past or the future--this is the same as asking "What is my relationship with life?"
Yoga teaches you to become more aware and present to the NOW, that is to life.
This week we'll spend the majority of the class learning various techniques to feel your inner body. You may also call this the subtle, Pranic, or energetic body.
One of the three main exercises we'll use to bring awareness to the inner body, and thus the current moment, is to get in a comfortable position. Bring focus to your breath. Notice how the chest and belly expand on inhale and relax on exhale. Stay with this for a few breaths. Then bring your awareness to the cells or even molecules in the torso region. See how they, too, expand and surrender with every breath. Eventually, spread your awareness of this "cellular breathing" to the arms, hands, neck, head, legs, and feet. Go as far as you are able. Enjoy the whole body breathing. Every cell opens and releases as you breath in and out. This is the beginning of experiencing the inner body.
Enjoy!
