Living from within

 
 
Go inside and listen to your inner voice.
Every question has an answer.
Look deeper and listen to that quiet voice.
— Yogi Bhajan

This quote is from ‘The 8 Human Talents’, a Kundalini Yoga book. The exercises last between 3 and 7 minutes and allow us to decide which part of the body to focus our attention on. 

Often, the body offers subtle clues, leading us to notice things that the mind isn’t yet ready to understand. The freedom of letting the body guide us towards what it needs could help.

This quiet blank space is a good foundation to start the day. ‘Living from within’ with a bit more awareness is always a win. So when you feel like it, look deeper and listen to that quiet voice. You might be surprised by what you discover :)
