Backtracking to the First Law of Yoga: The Law of Pure Potentiality, Words of Wisdom from LeeAnn



The 1st Law of Yoga: The Law of Pure Potentiality 
If you want to experience expansion, you need to broaden your understanding of who you really are.  Any time you say, "I am____," pause for a moment and ask yourself, "Is that really true?"  In reality, you are much more than you can imagine.  You are pure potentiality, infinite possibilities, and unbounded awareness.
"Every creative act involves a new innocence of perception liberated from the cataract of accepted belief." ~ Arthur Koestler
Perhaps the greatest myth about creativity is the idea that it's a rare gift or genetic endowment possessed by only a few.  We feel moved to our core by a piece of music or read about an incredible scientific discovery and mistakenly conclude that some people are born with creative talent while others are not.
In reality, each of us in infinitely creative.  In every moment we are using our intentions, thoughts, and attention to create the world we experience.
One fo the most powerful ways to tap into your deepest potential and creative reservoirs is meditation.  When you meditate, you access the field of pure potentiality that is the source of all inspiration and everything else in the universe.  You go beyond your mind's repetitive thought traffic into the silence and peace of pure awareness.  This stillness refreshes and cams the mind, allowing new ideas and insights to spontaneously emerge.
Today, instead of relying on sheer effort and the ego's limited resources, quiet your mind and open to the infinite source of all possibilities.
om shanti, om peace, om pure potentiality,
om love,
Lee Ann
