When Yoga Becomes Life
Hello, Lovely,
Finding power in pain is a topic that I feel is very relevant for a lot of women right now.
For years, whenever I thought of warrior 2 pose, there were 2 things that immediately would come to mind–burning thigh muscles, and aching shoulders. Clearly, this is not very empowering!
Recently, I found a new life perspective that has been giving me something empowering to think on, while I still feel the burning thigh muscles and aching shoulders!
Warrior 2 pose is your physical body connecting the past (with the arm behind you), and the future (with the arm in front of you), with your body in the present (middle) between the two.
I cannot think of many things that I can do that connect the past, present, and future so powerfully. The front hand literally points you in the direction of where you are going. It gives you clear focus. Looking on the front middle finger really helps with repeating your daily mantra or intention.
The connection of all three–past, present, and future–really pulls the whole journey together. You would not be where you are now without your past experience, but your focus is on what you want, while also being still with what is right now.
Bringing this energy into the warrior 2 pose really helps with finding power in the pain.
