\"\"<\/a>Maybe few weeks ago, I received a feed from Deepak Chopra that really resonated with me. He’s been introduced by Oprah enough and with all those best seller self-help books – which I have not read any of.\u00a0 But I love this – loosely quoting him:<\/p>\n

If you want to experience peak state,\u00a0 transcendence, that “flow”, the lightness of being<\/strong>, there are 3 steps:<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Start by NOT identifying with your personal history;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Eliminate the need for approval and self-importance;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Be aware in the present moment<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    To not dwell on the past and not letting the past determine who you are today is the first step – to let go of the past, the “sanskaras” – the groove and patterns and habits that imprints but does not serve you today; Then to be more grounded and centered in self-acceptance and love that you no longer seek outside validation.\u00a0 To no longer be insecure and weak; and then finally, to be fully engaged and conscious in the here and now.<\/p>\n

    Actually he summarized the main tenet of yogic philosophy very simply – a bit more is missing but for now, give this a try.\u00a0 It sounds easy and yet so hard to do … but whenever I do, I am able to slip into that state of yoga, that ultimate effortless being who is free and … light.<\/p>\n

    Hoping to create that safe space and hold that space so we can all regain that lightness and ease of being.<\/p>\n
