We all had our hard times throughout our lives. Life is never meant to be easy, hence all of us have our share of bad times to go through. It is part of learning to improve and moving on. Some of our experiences, let it be from during our childhood days or some traumatic event such as accidents, can affect our mind deeply. These events are stored in your subconscious that acts like a repository.

 In Freud's opinion the unconscious mind has a will and purpose of its own that cannot be known to the conscious mind (hence the reason why it is called the "unconscious") and is a repository for socially unacceptable ideas, wishes or desires, traumatic memories, and painful emotions put out of mind by the mechanism of psychological repression. Excerpt from Wikipedia on Subconscious.

These events can create many psychological issues that affect us. It is responsible for all your phobias, unexplainable anger, judgmental character, and the times where we just hate something and we do not know why. This is where it all comes from. Therefore, we need a way to clear it, throw those rubbish away from our mind, so we can have a more focused thinking that is not affected by all this experience.

The Permanent Soul

Namaskaram

The is no such thing as me, myself and I. In fact the body is not permanent. The body is an identity of the soul in this world. It is only limited to this world and only this world. We practice asanas to sustain the body to reach its final days on this earth, but the meditation is the food for the soul to realize the real purpose of life and existence and travel far from earth and beyond.

Ego, Jealousy, Anger, Sadness, Fear, Trauma are mere illusions to distract the mind from its real cause. The source of such emotions being manifested in you is only bound to this world and is never permanent. Focus on the soul, and feed it with kindness, happiness, peace, harmony and spirituality. Always fill yourself with positive thoughts, do good, never carry a negativity with you, as it will be an unnecessary burden for your soul to carry on this lengthy journey. Let it all go, and have light life, clear thoughts, and embark on a journey of pure bliss.

Yoga helped me in reaching my path, now I know where i stand, and what i need and learn my purpose of existence in this earth. The answer is always inside of you, and you are the guide of your life.
