We have many hours to be active, fueled by the sun, and find that we can go go go! πŸ‘For many of us, that is a very welcome change to 6 months prior where we find ourselves indoors and inside (ourselves) as we experience more hours of darkness than daylight. But, for many, this high energy can also be too muchπŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«. It can be too churning, or feel like it burns us out. Even for those who love the sun and active life, we can become exhausted from too much yang. What to do? In Pranakriya yoga, we balance out the churning with integration πŸ’œ. We love to raise the energy, but we also prioritize letting that settle out and observe what comes up for us. We may do a very churning practice but then balance it out with many moments of meditation and a deep relaxation. In that way, we use the high energy to inspire and fuel the important work of integration and introspection. πŸ§˜β€β™‚οΈ Yoga is something that benefits both the self and the collective. When we perform a balanced yoga practice - one that raises the energy and then also gives ample space to settle it out and observe what comes up for each of us - we become more self-aware and self-attuned. ❀️ Evolving ourselves into practitioners where deep self-awareness without judgment helps us become better citizens of the world because when we can show ourselves grace and empathy, we can do the same for others. When we can walk more lightly with ourselves, we can do the same in the world 🌎 . And inspire through example. ➑️ Let us know how you are balancing out the high energy of this time of year with moments of introspection, and using that to make yourself and the world a better place. Tag us pranakriya so we can share your story and inspiration. β˜€οΈ Jai Bhagwan! #pranakriyayoga #yoganand #swamikripalu #summersolstice2024 #churningandintegration #kripalu #summerenergy #sunenergy #internationaldayofyoga2024 #evolutionaryyoga ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 13 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 1 ## Tags yoganand, pranakriyayoga, internationaldayofyoga2024, churningandintegration, swamikripalu, summersolstice2024, summerenergy, sunenergy, kripalu, evolutionaryyoga --- Copyright (c) Gondola
