Remember the last time you felt really happy or joyful?
It was probably because life lined up with what your mind wanted in that moment.
You got what you wanted.
Or you were with someone you wanted to be with.
Or something finally went your way.
When your mind agrees with your experience, you feel happy.
But if we’re honest, most of the time the mind wants something other than what is here.
The coffee is good, but not hot enough.
The house is finally quiet, but now you get bored. You wanted time alone… and five minutes later you feel lonely and start checking your phone. In this video, I explain how yoga postures can become more than physical exercise.
They can help you build the skill of listening to the mind less, redirecting your attention and recognizing the deep peace and lasting contentment that are already here beneath all the mental commentary.
