In Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Sutra 1:2 gives us the true meaning of yoga practice: To still the every moving fluctuations of the mind. The “Chitta” is like the lens we see the world through. Our Chitta is colored, or clouded, by the vritti’s; the things we have been taught, the society we live in, the family we grew up with and the experiences that have made an impression on us as we grow. These perceptions can keep our mind in constant fluctuation (vritti) and block our awareness of our higher consciousness (Buddhi) or ability to discern, intuit and understand deeper meanings in our lives.
Yoga – to Unite Chitta – Consciousness Vritti – Fluctuations Nirodhah – Quieting of
The practice of yoga is to clear our lenses (Chitta’s) so that we see things as they really are, clear of personal attachment to outcomes, beliefs and misconceptions. This is the goal of yoga. this is why we practice. To clear our bodies and minds of habitual patterns so we can open up to what is truly important and true in our lives. So we can open up to the wisdom of our higher self that is always looking out for our good and the good of all.

“Life is a Learning Curve” is the quote my 19 year old snowboarding, drumming, stay-up-all-niter college freshman decided to get tattooed on his inner forearm next to the autism puzzle piece in honor of his older brothers journey navigating life on the spectrum.
These days we have a habit of saying that quote often when we come up against something new, hard, difficult, exciting or confusing. Life IS a learning curve. Do we ever stop learning? Transitions, pain, sorrow, winning, defeat, even success all have a learning curve at their core and what make up a growing life. After all, wouldn’t the drive just be a tedious ride if all the roads were straight? It really are those curves that drive us forward, empowering and creating empathy, compassion and resilience as we tackle each one. Like waves on the ocean the learning will keep rolling in. Some of the waves will be easy, rolling gently and slowly onto the shore and some will crash us right from behind and slam us down on our backs. It’s all a learning, a moving forward, through and back and forth again. Whenever you hear that inner critic or that debilitating fear rise up” that tells you “you can’t handle this” try and repeat the mantra “Life is a Learning Curve” ; tattoo it on your arm if you need to and remind yourself you are not supposed to have all the answers and that learning is gives your life meaning your your heart a chance soar.
