If you consider this for a moment and then look a little deeper into 'how' this world has affected, impacted, transformed and/or made you into the person you have become, you can then look again and ask yourself some important questions. What these questions may be are very personal to you as a form of self-enquiry.
'You may find yourself living in a shotgun shack!' Talking Heads.
So now, if you have been reading this blog for a while, you may have to ask yourself if you have the tools to change and/or integrate what these impacts (on your life) etc have made upon your nervous and endocrine system?
What tools? Asana - Pranayama - Meditation, are the essential tools.
If you cut it all back, it really comes back to how you are with your-self.
Can you be up all the time? No!
So what?
Be what you are when you are, what else is there but to surrender? There is sometimes conflict or there is not conflict, at the very least the practise will resolve tensions and conflicts.
BUT - - - - Now this is important!
Once you start to practise (yoga) 'with earnest', you will need to tune your inner ear. The natural intuitive guides within are 'shut out' by the clamouring voices of the ego, as the ego becomes tamed the inner quiet voice wakes up and informs you, listen to that! You may hear it as a subtle reminder that you may be eating too much, sleeping too much, drinking too much. I know this is not what 'we' want to hear but this is the awakening of the inner. Leading you to purify the body in order that you can experience being fully and truly alive. Instead of being a slave to the senses.
I knew there are people that appear to be able to cane it on the weekend and 'do' yoga during the week. But these people (in my opinion) are merely avoiding depth. Alcohol and/or drug use is an avoidance technique widely and commonly accepted as being ok. The reason for this is 'vested interest' of one kind or another.
