Joyous Receptivity Is Created Moment To Moment as An Expansive and Calm, Take No Shit, Inner Grace.
Pranayama is meant for one who cannot directly control the thoughts. It serves as a brake to a car. But one should not stop with it, but must proceed to pratyahara (withdrawal) dharana (concentration of mind) and dhyana (meditation/contemplation).

Reclaiming wholeness is about shifting out of the belief that something outside of us is more powerful.
We can re integrate this default programs of vacillating between thinking we know it all or always seeing others as more of an authority than ourselves.
It’s truly the both/and.
It's truly the totality.
It's truly the absolute 100% wholeness of ONE Creature IN Creation.
And knowing when you need help or outside perspective AND directly asking for it, IS a whole spiritual maturity.
Yes the One consciousness, we all have infinite access to, is exactly the same Self knowledge everyone does. There is NO separation, once we realize.
AND depending on where we are from moment to moment, we may consciously choose to call on trusted experts, teachers, mentors, guides and yes even lovers or romantic partners.
This is spiritual maturity. This is Human maturity. This is re integration of the ego to whole.
This is ONENESS, this is WHOLENESS, this is where there is no separation.
I know for me, mentors who live as ONE wholeness, guides who already embody the ONE TRUE NATURE of totality, where there is no more energy leaking paradox, no more wildly swinging crisis, no more drama and stress, are the most impactful teachers.
They firmly and consistently, gently share a WHOLE self knowledge as well as reminding me to trust my also whole own Self knowledge. Any true friendship, relationship or partnership requires subtle discernment to know when to step up and when to pull back. And always from a place of total wholeness, NOT deficit.
Owning life's lessons without guilt, shame or regret, is a way for us to remind our True Self of our OWN empowerment and integrity. Those humans who choose a responsible growth mindset are de attaching their REAL WHOLE self form unconscious inherited conditioning patterns.
This ever more subtle and finely nuanced return to who we have always been, creates and builds self trust by listening, recognizing and learning from where we may still need to practice. We simply Do The Work of un attaching our false conditioned self and returning to a simple, clear and direct wholeness.
Finding satisfaction and contentment in lessons of discerning choices, there is an alchemical process of forgiving oneself and simultaneously remembering who we are. This trusted process is a moment to moment conscious practice.
One of the main things that may hold us back from wholeness is not fully owning our lessons.
Not fully reflecting on choices made that lead to our current reality.
Not digging deep enough into patterns to see how we ended up in yet another drama laden crisis.
Not being accountable for peeling and revealing and feeling each and every subtle moment.
There is NO path to owning our wholeness. We already ARE that. Whole.
There is NO choice to owning our totality. We already ARE that. Total.
There is NO convoluted journey of "healing". We already ARE that. One Creature in Creation.
Once this ever so simple WHOLE reality of self knowledge is pointed out by a qualified teacher,
there is NO going back.
How could there Be,
when you now realize for your Own
Surrendered, Whole
True Nature?
Thank You Dear Ash.
Feel Her Fire and Let Her Burn, Me.
Divine, Sublime, Sensual, Surrendered.
and oh so my type of take no shit,
true sapiosexual.
