Why are presence and self-knowledge so important?



In order not to live in automatic mode, without being present in our own life, in our breathing, body, thoughts, words, actions and our habits.

It is very difficult to get to know ourselves if we are not present. The presence allows us to observe, this in turn, allows us to get to know each other, and that allows us to be aware, choose to inhabit ourselves, choose ourselves, choose to take care of ourselves.
Yoga and Ayurveda are two ancient sciences of self-knowledge. They invite us to know our uniqueness (body, mind, spirit) and through self-observation to be able to heal ourselves, adding the habits that do us good and subtracting those that do not.
If we are present in our breathing we can learn to use our most efficient and powerful tool to manage our vital energy, calm the central nervous system, calm the mind and thus our emotions, and more calmly manage them.
Observe how you breathe:
If you do it by nose or mouth. If it's soft, slow and deep, or it's fast, strong, short.
Have you ever felt the temperature difference in the air when inhaling and exhaling through your nose?
Does any part of your body hurt? Dedicate yourself presence, observe yourself: what are your postural habits: when you are standing, sitting, eating, working, studying, are you present or absent from your body? Do you clench your teeth, tense your shoulders, frown?
Do you control your thoughts or do they control you? To be present is to observe those thoughts, which are like voices in our head, are they ours? Or we are repeating someone else's voices. Our BEING is the one in charge, not our mind. Choose what you think.
Observe how you talk to yourself and talk to the rest. It's a good way to give yourself a presence. Each word has a frequency and can vibrate from love or from fear (hate, resentment). Inhabiting intolerance makes you more tolerant. Speak (you) with more love.
Practice being present in your own body, in the sensations it produces in the face of different stimuli, energies, food, sounds, thoughts, emotions.
Observe, pay attention, where your attention goes, your energy goes. Nourish it.
With love. Pauli🪷

JUNE. Month of my birthday and of International Yoga Day

Imagen
  In the international month of yoga and on my birthday, it seemed like a very good way to celebrate both of us by sharing a brief experience of what yoga means to me and why I recommend and celebrate it so much. I sincerely hope that more and more people can experience it. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU (to the one I was, am, and will be, and to the yoga teachers), now their teachings of yoga accompany me in life. Yoga, together with Ayurveda, has taught me and continues to teach me to respect and take care of my body, thoughts, actions, and emotions. It's not something that is easy, but it gives us tools, techniques, and above all, patience to learn that changes don't happen overnight, that like everything in life, it requires practice, habits, respecting our process, without feeling guilty, but with respect and responsibility. I used to breathe through my mouth until I started practicing yoga due to allergies since childhood. If I tried to breathe through my nose, I would h...

Sirsasana. Headstand. Sometimes it is necessary for life to turn us upside down, to finally be able to change our perspective

  Sometimes it is necessary for life to turn us upside down, to finally be able to change our perspective of things and thus change the narrative of our life that led us to turn upside down. Change the point o f view, the narrative, how we talk to each other, what we think, our actions, the attention we give to our emotions, what we do with them, how we manage them, and becoming aware of all of it, try to have coherence between all of them, what we feel, what we think, what we say and what we do. When there is no coherence between all of them, the logical thing is that we feel bad, that chaos dwells in our being, instead of harmony. Becoming aware of each of these aspects will make us begin to identify them and thus take action and try, that what we feel, think, say and do is coherent, not for everyone, not for your environment, for you, it has to make sense, because only you can know what your harmony is, listening to your internal rhythm, listening to your own being.

Emotions and fraternity.

Imagen
What I come to share with you today, are the reflections that the lunar cancer cycle left me: This cycle invited me to connect and feel-think about my emotional world. Through my emotion, I connect a lot with other people, showing my sensitive side, my emotional side and perhaps, more vulnerable. I know that showing that is not a weakness, but a strength. Being sensitive beings fraternize us. Connecting with emotionality empathizes us with those who are next door, it opens us to listen, to accompany, to encourage, to motivate, to inspire, to share, to give the best so that another being who feels is also. This last time I accompanied people to transit in a healthy way, with love and in presence, different emotional processes, because from my experience, knowledge and emotion, it came out just to do it, I didn't have to think about it, it was born from the inside, from where emotions come from, like energetic impulses. In a society that invites us to live in separation, indiv...
