Satya

DHARMA TALK - OCTOBER 14/16, 2017 I HEART YOGA / VERONA YOGA STUDIO

Satya or truthfulness is one of the Yamas which is a set of moral codes for living. When you walk the truth, the truth shall set you free.  Being truthful in all of your words, thoughts and actions to me is the best way to live a fulfilling and honest life.

But this can be tricky at times especially if we let outside influences keep us from standing tall and living in truthfulness.  The constant chatter of things around us divert us from our own truth.  But there are ways to bring honesty back into your life such as owning and honoring your true feelings so as not to hold us back, taking responsibility for our actions and not making excuses or blaming others, being yourself, being authentic and showing your true self no matter who you are with.  Letting go of the masks that hide us from being our unique and beautiful selves.

These are a few ways to pull us back into living a life of authenticity and for the next hour, I would like you to breathe and embrace your true self in each pose.  Focus on standing firm in poses.   Maybe close your eyes at times to connect to your truthfulness. Yoga is one of the best ways to practice that. And maybe make a promise each, day to stay truthful to yourself no what situation may arise
