Already Yoga

Already yoga:

really, it's already yoga, lived and experienced by the body as a whole, each cell in individual purpose and yet expressed completely as the world. Life is yoga, undivided in this sense, the union of seeming parts that actually reflect the function of something greater than themselves alone. This is our practice too, that we are individual cells of godhood, aspects of life joined as something far larger than we know. By practice I mean dharma, our purpose of truly being alive and aware. Yoga expresses it with such beautiful simplicity - we are here to breathe, to allow our heart to beat as the rhythm of the world, our bodies given in performance with every cell in dharma practice of their own. 

it's already yoga...everything.

and so we are each yogis, performing our practice through simply being alive, with no need to seek any greater purpose or meaning than what we're doing right now. No cell wishes to be anything other than its own function of life, completely at ease in it's dharma purpose. There is no desire to trade its place for what seems a higher order of expression, for a cell within the tissue of a leaf to someday manifest itself on the fingertip of some distinguished person. There is no greater purpose, nothing more beautifully expressed than a leaf through every season. To be part of this is a noble cause indeed. 

with this in mind we are free in our own expression, assured by both purpose and our beauty - we can never express ourselves wrongly, that are serving our own true and noble cause by virtue and simplicity of our being. It's already yoga, we are practicing it now with each breath taken, our every movement an expression of the divine. There is never a cause for us to doubt ourselves, to not take our form and beauty, our very lives, as functions of this greater yoga. 

we're yogis of a higher order.

already.
