Its within all of us

My yoga instructor is a subtle sage; I often will do about 1.5 hours of yoga before I meet her each week. She has an amazing way to put me in new positions by tricking my body into the pose, relaxing and going deeper. But beyond the asanas (poses) she is teaching me real yoga. Real yoga is realizing that asanas are a way to just get to a deeper state of being. We hold so much emotion, habits, ways of thinking in tissues that prop us up, hold us together. I began to describe a few experiences I’ve had were sage people offered insight that caused me to have new realizations. Kitty was brilliant in offering a very simple statement; “Lisa, its within you. The answers are all within us.” It was simple and pure. We don’t need to go looking for the doctor who can fix us. We don’t need to find the sage that tells us who we are. We find those answers within us, yet we can use people like Kitty to point them out; to create the awareness.
