What does it mean to know contentment?
Are you familiar with the concept of "knowing contentment"?
The Voicy Bikin Yoga© channel
explains yoga philosophy in a simple and easy-to-understand way🧘♀️
So, I felt this was something I really wanted to cherish!!
I'm going to try outputting my thoughts on it.
Knowing contentment!!
This is one of the concepts found within yoga philosophy.
It means turning your eyes to this very moment
and feeling the richness of your heart in this moment.
This is what Nao-san uses as her closing words in Bikin Yoga.
I am grateful for my own heart and body
for waking up as if it were a matter of course
and for being able to spend my time as if it were a matter of course.
These words are exactly the mindset needed to know contentment.
Instead of pinning your hopes on the future, thinking "someday, someday,"
or regretting and feeling down, thinking "I'm not good enough as I am"
it's about...
focusing on what you can do now,
and realizing the richness of your heart in this very moment,
which is a teaching of yoga philosophy.
I often think, "I'm just no good, am I?"😭
or "Compared to that person, I don't have this or that..."
But suddenly,
having a place to return to,
being able to eat delicious food,
having family who are healthy,
and having a healthy body of my own,
none of these are things to be taken for granted,
and they are all things to be grateful for right now.
I am actually so fulfilled!!!
I suddenly felt a sense of abundance,
and my heart felt at ease.
On the Voicy Bikin Yoga© channel,
we introduce things you can do to learn to know what is enough.
Make a gratitude list
Let go of perfectionism
By keeping this in mind,
I thought I would try to spend my days with a richer feeling ☺️
Thank you for reading 🍀
