Don’t work with your past knowledge you have created of yourself.

Why don’t we always feel fresh, light, and truly alive?
Yoga teaches that the root isn’t just in the body—it lies within the pranic field, our inner energy system. The yogis understood that when this field becomes disturbed or clouded, we feel it as tension, heaviness, or physical discomfort.
By turning inward, they discovered how to clear these impurities at their source.
Often, we blame the body. But the deeper cause is not realising that it is all related to the mental projection of asmita; the Me aspect made up from attachment to outcomes, or to aversions.
This is a mental picture of who we are and this creates an inner tension to fulfil or to divert from. This is knowledge we have created of who we are. It is in the past and we are looking at ourselves in the past respectively. What we are experiencing in the body is from the past. We won’t create a new way of being by working with this past aspect but by releasing it.
The yogis knew how to use the components of yoga to release them and to stop the past and future of these patterns. It releases karmic behaviour bringing freedom.
Inspired by the Bhagavad Gita:
“always perform your duty without attachment. Attachment free performance leads to the highest state”
Complete detachment leads to liberation
Om Shanti
