Day 6: CONNECTING TO UNIVERSAL ENERGY

✨ DAY 6: CONNECTING TO UNIVERSAL ENERGY ✨

Today's Teaching:

Yoga Chitta Vritti Nirodhah
"Yoga is the calming of the fluctuations of the mind"
— Patanjali's Yoga Sutra 1.2

This sutra reminds us that yoga is not just about physical postures—it's a practice of calming the mental chatter and finding inner stillness. By quieting the fluctuations of the mind (chitta vritti), we open ourselves to a deeper connection with the universal energy that flows through all of us.

🧘‍♀️ On the Mat:

Join Lauren for a heart opening practice designed to guide you into a state of presence and connection. Through breathwork, movement, and mantra, you'll explore:

• Calming the mind and finding inner stillness

• Awakening the energy within you and around you

• Tuning into the flow of universal energy

• Connecting with your higher self and the world around you

Taking It Beyond the Mat:

Connecting to universal energy isn’t limited to the mat—it’s an ongoing practice that can transform every aspect of life:

• In Relationships: Cultivate deeper connections by listening with presence and love

• In Work: Approach tasks with mindfulness, feeling aligned with the flow of your energy

• In Self-Care: Honor your body and soul as part of the greater universal flow

• In Nature: Surrender to the cycles of life and find unity with the world around you

• In Thoughts: Let go of mental distractions and allow yourself to be present in the moment

Today's Journal Prompts:

Take time to reflect on:

• What practices help me calm my mind and connect to something greater?

• Where do I feel disconnected from the universal flow?

• How does my body feel when I am present in the moment?

• What does it feel like to be aligned with something bigger than myself?

• How can I invite more moments of stillness into my day?

Your Daily Integration Practice:

As you move through your day, notice:

• Moments of mental chatter—can you bring awareness and stillness?

• How your breath can help you center yourself and find presence

• Opportunities to connect with the world around you in a deeper, more mindful way

• How you feel when you tap into the flow of universal energy

Words of Wisdom:

"Calming the mind is not about stopping the thoughts—it's about creating space between them to feel the presence of the universe flowing through you."

Remember: The more we calm the mind, the more we can connect with the universal energy that surrounds and unites us all. Each moment of presence brings us closer to the divine flow.
