Side with your Self

We’re all clumsy at times, and can make silly mistakes.  How do we treat ourselves afterwards? Do we mull over how we could have done things differently, and consider all the possible scenarios in which the incident could have been avoided?  Do we take precious time out of Now in order to call ourselves stupid?

...Who’s side are we on?
Belittling and berating serves to weaken opponents and enemies.  If we ever belittle and berate ourselves, we are actively weakening ourselves, and are therefore actively fighting against ourselves.  

...Who’s side are we on?

Don’t fight against yourself, Side with your Self.

You didn’t incarnate in your body in order to trash-talk it.  You don’t inhabit your mind in order to curse yourself. Your soul chose this body to uplift this body: Your soul chose this mind to uplift this mind.  When you side with your Self, you actively take care of your body, and actively care for your mind. To take care of your Self is to love your Self. To side with your Self is to love all aspects of yourself, not just your lovable aspects.  In loving all aspects of ourselves, we practice loving all aspects of humanity.
​In being forgiving, gentle, and patient with ourselves, we practice gracing this planet with these virtues.  As we bless ourselves with forgiveness, gentleness, and patience, we allow the world to progress and heal in a loving manner.  We allow love to be primary principle of the new world order.

Fight the fight that’s right: side with your Self.

    Kundalini Yoga Quotes:

    “I’d never felt anything like it; it was just an opening of energy and a feeling of such liberation.” -Marika Bethel, owner, Glowing House

    “Within the first ten minutes, I thought, ‘[kundalini yoga] is the best thing that’s ever happened to me,’” -Gabrielle Bernstein

    "Kundalini Yoga is the crack cocaine of yoga; if Hatha is a mild weed high, Iyengar is a deep hash glow and Ashtanga is amphetamine, Kundalini Yoga blows the F*@&ing doors off." -Russell Brand
