The Importance of Intensity
Intense is an intense word. Even though we may not be aware of it, all human beings seek intensity. We naturally want to feel something.
This can come in the form of adventure, experience, love, connection, or in the form of chaos, addiction, and accidents. If we're not creating our own intensely present experiences, life will create it for us.
Even within our minds, intensity thrives. Negative thoughts and lower vibration emotions have a certain intensity and stickiness to them. This is why we can be addicted to a negative bias. These harmful loops will continue if we don't accept them and then reorient our experience to honesty, growth, connection… high values.
In order to watch our lower tendencies without getting sucked into them, building our energy is key.
Helpful ways to build out Shakti (energy): Breath practices, kriya, being in nature, and recognizing that we are much more porous and connected than we think.
Build, connect, and stabilize your energic body. An integrated approach to Yoga is so incredibly powerful with this, annd its key. Establish awareness in the heart, set your intention, let your body absorb your heart.
With Love,
