Embrace Resilience with Yoga: The Power of Positivity
Jul 25, 2024There are three key principles for resilience. Among them, the idea of "looking for the good" stands out, resonating deeply with the core philosophy of Anusara yoga.
Anusara yoga, a school of thought dedicated to recognizing intrinsic goodness and beauty in the world, aligns perfectly with this notion. In this practice, we train ourselves to shift our perspective, embracing the belief that everything is fundamentally good. This transformative approach helps us navigate life's challenges with grace and positivity.
The concept of "hunting the good," as taught to the U.S. Marines to enhance their resilience, also finds a place in our daily lives. It's a reminder that our human tendency to focus on threats, a survival mechanism from ancient times, often overshadows the beauty around us. By consciously seeking out the good, we can balance our perspective and cultivate a more positive outlook.
Anusara yoga encourages us to anchor ourselves in this mindset. Through mindful breathing and conscious movement, we connect with the intrinsic goodness within and around us. By setting a strong foundation and aligning our bodies intentionally, we mirror the intentionality we bring to our attitudes. This practice teaches us to place ourselves with purpose, both physically and attitudinally, creating a stable base from which we can view the world through a lens of positivity.
As we move through our days, the practice of seeing and resonating with the goodness around us can transform our experiences. It reminds us that, despite life's challenges, there is always beauty and grace to be found. Embracing this perspective through the principles of Anusara yoga not only enhances our resilience but also enriches our daily lives with a deeper sense of connection and well-being.
This week's Thankful Thursday practice is a full length Anusara practice with Kristina, taken from the archives, titled "Hunt the Good". When you do this class take this theme into your heart and mind, and breath deeply into the goodness that surrounds you and exhaling into a space of gratitude and peace.
