As yogis, we acknowledge that we exist as a mind-body system powered by the spirit. Much like an egg that has a protective shell, deep within is a whole and complete golden yoke. This yoke within, at the center of our being, is much like the koshas of the body. The outer shell protects the vulnerable, translucent, formless aspects of our being (our thoughts, feelings, and perceptions). Living within the whole and complete yoke, lies the full potential for manifesting the unborn destiny.

So what came first - the chicken or the egg? What came first - our consciousness that created the experience of our life or our life which is creating and shaping our consciousness? As we learned at the Body of Sound & Consciousness weekend (September 10-12, 2010), it's really, most likely, that both scenarios are true. Within the formless part of our evolution is the frequency which organizes and manifests our experiences and from which future circumstances will be attracted to.

As we learned during that weekend, it is possible to shift certain vibrational patterns that resonate with more refined, skillful, mature vibrations. Eventually, similar to the egg, our shells may get cracked open and this allows us to release a powerful energy that no longer needs that protective covering because the consciousness residing deep within the Atman at our core of our being is whole and complete. Now, the enveloping shell is resilient through the protection of love and truth which has fortified and made it translucent in authentic encasing to reveal the real self.

During the Body of Sound & Consciousness weekend, participants gathered together in spirit of delving deep within to connect to sacred white light with crystal clarity allowing forgiveness, patience, and surrender to the highest good of all operating in their lives and were able to transcend limiting beliefs and unhealthful patters, habits and tendencies that will allow for greater unfolding. Two of our special participants graduated this weekend after several years on the path at yogaspirit®. To our surprise, during the weekend, their shells cracked and their release of Kundalini shaktipat, activating the heart chakra and expanding their awareness, was supported and witnessed by all.

Some participants were there for personal growth and transformation and others were there seeking certification. Everyone got to participate in yogaspirit®'s Mind-Body Subtle Healing Therapies™ where we worked in partnership learning these new yogic therapy skills.
