Sometimes I sing the Ashtanga closing prayer with a different melody which is the one I learned with the chanting teacher I had the very first time I travel to India. This mantra really connects me back with the quietness inside. Yesterday I was having a very agitated breathing during my practice and it was a clear reflection of my mind state into my breathing. My mind was on a very disturbed state and I allowed it to be and just observed. I think that the most difficult part about Saucha or cleanliness, is the cleanliness of the mind. When there is something disturbing my mind, it is so hard to let it go and create space, to stop thinking about it, because I get attached to the lecture I give to the situations. This is how we have been taught to behave, we have to be right, and when we consider others are "wrong" an it "affect" us, easily we get stuck on the victim zone. Fortunately, yoga path has so many practices that work as a mirror and make us realize how ridiculous and absurd it is to stay on that state of attachment with a thought or emotion. Fortunately there are beautiful mantras, prayers and pranayamas that reflect as a mirror the beauty of our hearts, the bliss and the joy. ...and so we remember who we are! #peaceofmind #shantimantra #ashtangaclosingprayer #lokahsamastahsukhinobhavantu #saucha #cleanlinessofmind #practicecompassion #practicedevotion #practicekindness #yogaisequanimity #belove #luanafarayoga #nomadsoul (at Villa Konstantin, Mykonos, Greece)
