Topic 6.01.02 The Sacred Body. VERSION CONTROL: 1 August 2017

Shanti Yoga is the answer to this destructive lack of balance. The embodiment and integration of mystical consciousness with all aspects of life start with understanding, reverence, and celebration of the inherent sacredness of your body. Knowing that your body is sacred in itself, a temple of the spirit, and an instrument of your divine self leads to several interlinked and transformative initiations in the heart of ordinary existence. It makes you profoundly grateful for the blessings of being alive, conscious that all life is the glowing manifestation of spirit, aware of the holiness of other human and sentient beings, and more and more dazzlingly alert at all movements to the divine splendour of creation. It enables you to heal all false divisions between ‘body’ and ‘soul’, ‘physical’ and ‘spiritual’, ‘self’ and ‘other.’

In a world of individuals, comparison makes no sense. You are perfect right now. Feel the ebb and flow. Wouldn’t it mean so much more to observe closer the size of our hearts, the width of our souls, and the length of our spirits? What if your only job is to be, and to decide who you really are? Trust your instincts. The more specific you are about yourself and your journey, the more universal your contribution can be.
