Between any stimulus and our brain there is a space.

A place time does not exist. A moment.

A doorway some might say. A threshold.

Every second new opportunity.

Yoga is literally the science of life.

A practice that allows this space to be known.

It needs space to give space.

In his book, A Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl says “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is the power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. “

Frankl goes on to carry this theme of his book, when you have a “why”, you can bear any “how”. Praising how strong and wise the human spirit is. He suggests 3 ways to cultivate meaning and purpose in ones life.

• creative work
• experience something fully and completely
• love someone fully and completely

As one engages these lower chakras (root, sacral, solar) energy is able to move freely throufgh the body and a new attitude begins to emerge.

Like the kundalini serpent lying dormant in your life. It begins to rise up the spine.

A life without meaning isn’t much of a life at all.

“Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way

After my stroke, my entire life as I knew it was gone. Just swept away. It took me almost 7 years to finish my college degree and only a split second to make it worthless to me.

The only thing I had left was my self, my true self.

Everything else had been stripped away.

Frankl calls it your “why.”

I say it’s your connection to something bigger than yourself.

Your true divine nature, the part of you not affected by space or time.
