If you want to learn about geography, math, or grammar, you can simply pick up a book or hop online and learn. But yoga and meditation are different. Some progress can definitely be made by studying alone, but for substantial development, a proper teacher is needed. This is because yoga and meditation happen beyond the arenas of the mind. Yoga is not just about knowledge, it’s about energy and experience. If you want to light a candle, the easiest way is with another candle that is already lit 🕯️. A proper yoga or meditation teacher is just like that candle. They can light you up with just a glance or the right words at the right time. If you’ve been around Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar before, you’ve probably had an experience like this. And if you haven’t met him yet, join us later this year when he returns to the US, and experience getting lit up for yourself 🙌! #meditationeveryday #meditationsoul #meditationpractice #meditationtime #meditationinspiration #meditationlife #...
