Keeping the Balance in Your Life

12/17/2017

0 Comments

 

Last week I brought in the practice of the Trimurti Trinity to my classes and this teaching is perfect for the ending of 2017 and to keep balance on this earth during the holiday season.

I've heard many people say they are busier than ever this holiday season and I have been feeling this sense of chaos as well. What has caused this season to seem more overwhelming than others? Part of this feeling is caused by not being balanced and letting the stress of the "perfect" holiday season overtake you.

So what is the Trimurti Trinity and how can it keep balance on this earth? The Trimurti is Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. When all three come together, they create the balance we need to keep life on earth following. These three can also be used to keep balance in our own personal lives.

So here is what the trinity is made of:
Brahma is the Creator
Vishnu preserves life
Shiva has the power to destroy everything

Who do we turn to and how do I corporate it into my daily life?

Here is a breakdown of  who we turn to in order to find the balance in our lives.
Brahma is for creativity
Vishnu (whose wife is Lakshmi) for peaceful lives and monetary benefits
Shiva for destruction of all things unnecessary and by people who are willing to make radical changes to their lives.

We can turn to each depending on where our lives are at and we can also connect them all together to create the balance we need. We bring them all together by using our pranayama and internal mantra practice to settle into ourselves and know that the flow of life is happening whether we know it or not.

The pranayama/mantra practice is:
Inhale: Brahma (creator)
Pause: Vishnu (preserve/peace)
Exhale Shiva (let go/change)

And remember this holiday season the beauty of Bhakti Yoga and share love with all!

"It's not bhakti (devotion) to give a man some money or to give him a meal as charity. Bhakti is universal love. Seeing God in all beings, without the least idea of duality, is bhakti." -Nityananda
