Inner Body Bright
In Anusara yoga, our inner body bright refers to the soft radiant, open-hearted energy that gives the outer form of our poses a sense of fullness and buoyancy. It is an expansive energy that rides with us into poses, breath, thoughts and experiences. It is in our intention to connect with it that it appears. Like a lovely body double made up of pure beautiful energy, this inner body brightness illuminates our awareness of our deep connection to everything in the world. She is the heart of our natural spirit, free, spacious and joyous.
When we set our intention to Open to Grace, Anusara’s first Universal Principle of Alignment, we choose to align with this deeper energy within us. Imagine simply choosing to see and feel this energy as an expression of our deepest desire to reunite with something bigger than ourselves. This energy illuminates our world from inside. It puffs up, expands out and rides into being with our very intention for it to be with us, as us. It swells in sweetness; an inner smile of adoration for us.
This week we will invite into our awareness the energy of inner body bright. She is a lovely addition to your practice. She lifts you up from inside and fills you out to your skin in every pose. She is the heart of your energetic form; shining brightly, expanding widely to embrace the glorious physical form of yourself.
Step onto the mat at Good Life Yoga and meet your inner body bright.
