The Sky

Most of us have very busy minds and a thousand things to think about. Which is why it is crucial for our well-being to give rest to our minds with daily shots of being truly at peace with ourselves and our world. Raja Yoga is a simple method to rise above our chattering minds and find that peace. Every day. It helps us know and experience who we really are inside – separate from the many different roles we play and the labels we are given. We call it ‘soul consciousness’.

As we journey on this path of life towards our own potential and towards the life we dream of,

There will inevitably be challenges,

Obstacles and difficult people that we have to learn to tolerate.

To tolerate is actually a power.

It means that instead of running away from the darkness of my life,

I bring to that darkness the light of understanding.

Let me center myself right now for just a moment and slip into that space of stillness within,

Slowing my breath,

Slowing my mind.

And for this moment,

Let me think of a challenge that I am facing right now.

I have a choice with that challenge.

Either I can resist it and complain and feel weakened by it or I can bring to it the light of understanding.

What is it that I have to learn from this challenge?

What is the hidden gift that this challenge brings?

Let me sit in silence for just a moment and bring that light of understanding to the situation.

When there is understanding and when I have truly figured out what the lesson is,

Then I will instantly shift to a feeling of lightness and expansiveness.

And instead of that situation being difficult,

The situation will become easy because I will understand its significance.

From this day forward,

I can choose to bring the light of understanding to any challenge so that I can tolerate it with grace,

With hope and with love.
