Your Yes
The fruit of a tree begins with a blossom. Your next
fruitful act begins with a thought.
Thoughts lead the way and open gates, or deepen the
existing valley being walked in.
Yogis understand this creating and deepening of channels
with the term, samskara.
Three years ago in my online Penzu journal I wrote about
what I was inviting in to my thought and life structure with these short lines
addressed to myself and to others:
What is the narrative that you are
playing today?
We each have one, some dominant, others
subordinate or alternative.
What are you living and giving
permission to?
Another way of seeing this self inquiry is asking
yourself about what you are acknowledging and thus strengthening with your
“yes”. What are you giving a yes to?

A Deeper Dive
To deepen times of integrating self inquiry as a practice
schedule in “down time”. It might be a half day a week, or a full weekend per
month.
“Occasional periods of silence allow us to surround ourselves with
stillness which makes it easier for us to then develop greater harmony within.
Just thinking about the amount of stimulation that we have in just one day will
help us realize that we have so many things that divert our attention from
ourselves. Being able to take a break from these things, though, enables us to
slow down and relax, which in turn makes time expand for us, adding a new
dimension to the way we live and experience our lives. By staying at home and
carving a peaceful space for yourself today you will discover that peace always
lies within you.”– Daily Om
