Hello, hoping you’re well and safe. This past weekend I led a chair practice that focused on the second of the five niyamas.
____
2. Santosa (Contentment)
Santosa means being happy with whatever we have and practicing inner joy from spiritual wisdom. Santosa is not acquired by amassing material things. Rather it is contentment from a higher consciousness as the ultimate joy. Happiness for material things last only a few hours or days and comes from a lower consciousness. Ultimate joy stays with you, it never goes away. Be happy with what you have.
Yoga Sutra 2.42: From contentment, one gains supreme happiness.
Journaling Prompt: Notice how much energy you use each day to get what you want and avoid what you don’t want. What does it feel like, both emotionally and physically, to seek out a different outcome than what you’ve been handed?
Take good care,
Natasha
