Sankalpa.

Hi everyone!

I opened my classes yesterday, January 11th, like SOSAI did!

So I am sharing what we discussed to my fellow yogi's about new year resolution.

Sankalpa, is a state of resolution, where deep practice of mediation takes during Yoga Nidre. (Basically realizing what the source of what we are is, not that I experienced....yet).

When we set out to "finish","accomplish" all the list on out New Year Resolution list, we usually get burned out and feel we let ourselves down. Especially when it is about losing weight or resolution inclined more on the outwardly things.

Sankalpa is about feeling the inside bliss with the will for the resolution.
 San means "together" and kalpa or kalpana means "idea". So it means unified thoughts. Nothing diverting, dividing. Just simply, being whole. It is taking the step, one at a time towards what we want which in already within us.

How wonderful is that????
