many items in your wardrobe do you never dress in? Is there
pointless paperwork lurking beneath your desk? Do you have community media
“friends” who no longer bring you joy?
Humans have a leaning to hoard surrounding ourselves with
things. deem the bulging handbag the average woman takes every time she leaves
the house. When we outgrow things we often find it hard to let them go. I’m
talking about the shoes that are so painful they are worn formerly and never
again or the toiletries too fancy to finish, session half empty on a bathroom
shelf. All these items are symbols of our inability to let go.
And let’s not kid ourselves we complete not only hoard
possessions. What about the toxic friendship we just can’t give up? Or that harmful
habit we can’t seem to kick?
It is natural to struggle through this kind of mental OCD;
repeating thought patterns about ourselves and our lives. And to let that
clutter go, it can be scary. This is the material we have built our lives
around, giving us security, identity and power, or so we consider. We fear
letting go because without all of it…who the hell am I?
The inquiry we have to ask ourselves iswhat are we afraid
of? What story about ourselves are we unwilling to let go?
Try to recall how good it felt the last time spring cleaning
was finished. possibly you got rid of an old habit or cleared out your fridge.
How light did you feel without that old baggage? And the new stuff that came
in, wasn’t it much better than what you had before? So there’s the truth; we
must clear out to make space for the new. Having a follow of surrender in your
life will make space for your growth and personal truth.
This is when Yin Yoga can construct a big difference in the process
of surrender. When we practice Yin Yoga, we actually practice the art of
letting go. Yin is to enjoy a shape that is authentic, without forcing your
body to change. It is to relax into the bones; to be still and kind. To give up
holding on.
A regular practice of Yin Yoga will certainly release brawny
pain. But it accesses a deeper level than the more dynamic, “Yang” styles of
yoga. Yin Yoga works the connective tissues of our ligaments, joints, and
bones. It accesses the deep fascial networks that run from first to last every
element of our body. This is a continuous connective tissue that exists from
head to toe, so that a restriction in one part will affect every other part,
and fascia is where our trauma is stored. animal tension is the manifestation
of emotional trauma. Our biography is our biology and fascia provisions all
pain from the landscape of our lives. Just as a broken bone creates scar
tissue, emotional trauma is also ingrained in the history of our body. This is
why emotions like anxiety, anger or grief are felt at specific physical
locations. And even after the situation has passed our bodies hold on top of
the memories, until we let them go.
In this way Yin Yoga create a space to surrender inhibiting
mind patterns. As the fascia is released so are the psychological traumas it
contains. This is why certain poses can bring a surge of emotion as stored
energies are unblocked and let go. And devoid of those thought pattern, we can
discover the core of who we are. Not who we were, not who we will be but the
ever changing kaleidoscope of your present and beautiful self, right now. And
then we will no longer need to cling to the out-dated possessions, people,A or
mind. since right there on that mat, in the stillness and peace, we will
remember that we are enough. We will always be enough. Trust yourself. You are
more complete than you know. Within you is a command beyond your wildest
dreams. And your true nature is absolutely happy and at peace. Perhaps you forget
this. But don’t worry, Yin Yoga will lend a hand you to recall.
