Third Eye Chakra, you are my intuition.
Clairvoyant you are. When I look through your third eye, my questions seem mysteriously answered. I know before you know. I am looking through you toward the sky. #chakrahealing #emotions #ajnachakra

Namaste.

capture who you are
What do you do after yoga class? You went, you opened, twisted, sweat and stretched it all out. You unleashed emotions and thoughts, and sealed it all in with intention in the end (savasana).
Do you then just go on with your day?
Yoga—if done mindfully—can create euphoria and bring you to your happiest self. It can also bring you to the opposite as it acts as a sort of catalyst to making you face your darkness, as all that you hold inside your tightest body parts rises to the surface and begs for your attention.
This happens without notice with yoga poses that open the hips and shoulders, abdominal twists and mainly yoga breathing (i.e., ujjayi pranayama). With yoga, you are not only wringing out toxins, but also releasing emotions and setting energy free...
Whether magical or disturbing, you can capture the essense of all that comes up in your yoga class by working with it. You can write it down (to share or not),
the answer to all questions is 'yes'
The opposite of muscle contraction is softening and lengthening. Flexibility is the opposite of muscles.
Going hardcore to get what bothers you most out of you, using your own internal fire, is all good. Using the rajas to their fullest is great, while you let them subside into a peaceful state. But there is a balance to that sun energy expended.
Cooling down, stretching out, and really listening in the silence you've created is the whole point of yoga. To get rid of your mind's stories, your insecurities, your anger... is to feel more tranquil.
It is in this place that you are able to listen to your intuition, your own internal teacher.
