In Your Own Image

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

This week in class we are considering the topic “Embodying The Spirit.”

In Your Own Image

In a very literal sense, the body is a living sculpture of yourself. Aside from genetic inheritance and the body images received in childhood, the body is molded by changes in the psychological state. Thoughts and feelings as psychic energy in the aura affect the physical body via nerve centers and endocrine glands, altering its apparent structure and function. Some examples of this are: drastic physical changes in appearance which are clearly seen in people subject to multiple personalities, and the superhuman strength experienced in emergencies or under hypnosis.

- Charles Breaux

The homework is to consider how your body has been sculpted without any judgments. Consider how your current psychological states are sculpting your body right now. Ask yourself if there is any need for changing your psychological states to better serve the sculpting of your body.

Blessings,
