Daily Questions To Awaken Your Soul...

I was inspired to write this blog from a talk I listened to today by Deepak Chopra.  He is one of the teachers in my health coach training at Institute for Integrative Nutrition.  I have been contemplating what the mission of PurBalance Yoga Therapy is and also who it is that I want to serve.  I want to serve those people who are unhappy with their career but don’t know what else they can do, or don’t even know where to begin to find out what it is that they would love.  I didn’t listen to my discontent and it cost me my health and I almost lost my most important life relationship … my relationship with my husband.  I now teach yoga so that I can help others learn how, through asana, breathing techniques and other yoga tools, to go into the inner silence and become comfortable with uncertainty.  That inner silence is the space between our thoughts where we can connect to the infinite intelligence.  When we are unhappy our soul is speaking to us.  It may be speaking to us through an illness, through a life circumstance or just pure discontent.  If we can go into our yoga practice to move deeper into our discontent and unhappiness we begin to feel where it is within our body.  Once we feel it and name it we can then begin to ask questions.  We don’t need to know the answers we only need to ask questions and then allow life to move us into the answers. These are the questions from Deepak Chopra …

·         Who am I?

·         What do I want?

·         What is a peak experience to me?

·         What is my life purpose?

·         What kind of contribution do I want to make to the world?

·         What does a meaningful relationship look like to me?

·         How do I contribute to the relationships that I have?

·         What are my unique skills and talents and how do I use them to contribute to society?

·         Who are my heroes?

·         What is my story?

Asking these questions will begin to awaken your soul.  If you listen and follow your inspirations, intuitions and interests you will have ignited the power of your soul and you will transform your life.  The mission of PurBalance Yoga Therapy is to help you discover what lights up your soul so that you can wake up every day in a healthy body loving what it is that you do!

I hope you will begin to take time each day to slip into the stillness and ask one or two of these questions and see how your life begins to change.
