Yoga Journaling

Sacred Writing from the Heart

Journal writing is the perfect accompaniment to yoga because in practice and throughout the day, much will come in the form of philosophic and inspirational thought.  It is these thoughts that will propel the movement through the mind into the outer realms.  Journey to the center of your own sphere and bring forth the goodness that lies deep within.  Quieting the mind with yoga will open the mind to inner guidance, allowing the flow to reach the conscious, transcending into understanding and growth.

Expression through the written word brings focus to thoughts, helps to organize and understand. Initially, just get the thoughts down on paper (or computer) whether they make sense or not.  With contemplation and organization, revelations may appear.

Additionally, journal writing is important for your yoga practice because it will give you a log of your progress.  You will be able to refer back to see how far you have come.  You can record difficult poses and areas that need improvement.
