 Sauca – Cleanliness/Purity of the body, mind and heart 

Why should we practice Sauca, the first Niyama?  Why is it important to purify, cleanse and let go of anything that does not support your amazing self?  Because YOU matter.  Because what you offer the world matters.  There is only one of you.  We practice Sauca and remember our worthiness.  As sacred beings we honor, cleanse and create the finest environment for the light of ourselves to shine brightly.  

There are many traditions and activities that help us purify.  We regularly bathe and brush our teeth.  We clean and clear our environment.  We endeavor to let go of impure thoughts and reduce or avoid negativity, emotional dependencies or behaviors.  We eat healthy clean food, and drink clean water. We exercise, sweat and release toxins. We smudge, use incense, chant, ring bells all to help us purify our mind, and spirit.   We use the visual of white light to help lighten and cleanse our own energetic field.  All of these activities allow us to actively polish the mirror of ourselves and reflect out to the world our beautiful spirits.

This week you are offered an opportunity to let go of anything that does not serve your spirit.  Our practice will reflect this intention to purify the mind, body and spirit.
