Yoga Teacher Training?

Enlightenment has no simple definition.  It is a journey that only you can go on. We can do this alone or via a yoga teacher training program.  

Enlightenment is dropping the ego; the desires, the judgment, and the material wants of this world and finding your inner connection to your higher power.

Enlightenment has in my mind, become a buzzword.  Like in the video, “Enlighten Up”, it was very hard to find the one true definition of the word.  

However, all of the speakers and those who were interviewed somehow shared the same sense of definition: Enlightenment is a path you are on to finding your inner connection to your spiritual self and to God

Minds 

In many parts of the world be it, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton, Halifax or MontrealSt John’s or even aboard Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Bali, Thailand, New Zealand, London, Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro  Greece, Rome, Berlin, Paris, Buenos Aires, Dallas, MiamiNew York, Chicago, San Diego, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle and Tel Aviv, we become so much part of our physical being and into our minds of thinking and obsessing.  We get caught up in the world and all the going-ons that we do not live in the moment.  

We live in the past or future of what may happen.  Enlightenment is the flip side of this.

Enlightenment is a path that is not an easy path.  A person does not say, I am going to become Enlightened and they do.  

It is a daily practice of finding the Now, using their senses of what is happening right now and with that, we begin to practice being with ourselves, finding that inner connection to the divine, the Universe, to God, to our spiritual self.  Enlightenment is connecting to our inner-knowing.  

No Ego

Enlightenment is truly dropping the Ego of ourselves and connecting to our soul.  To become enlightened is to become one with Now.  

One with your spiritual self and your inner knowing and truth.  Enlightenment is something many of us wish to achieve and it is a confusing journey.  

Enlightenment is not an easy path, it is facing truths that perhaps we don’t want to face, it takes practice and commitment.  However, it is achievable and I believe it is learned by doing, not by someone teaching us.  

Create

No one can teach us Enlightenment because I believe Enlightenment is an energy we create within ourselves.  With practice, we create an understanding of the world and why people act the way they do.  

We become aware of people’s judgements and people’s own weaknesses and desires that perhaps make them do things they are not proud of.  Just like us.  

As we become more aware and connected, we drop the Ego’s emotions of anger, resentment, jealousy, greed and getting hooked into negative thought patterns.   

Love

By slowly becoming aware and dropping these emotions we begin to allow ourselves to heal.  We slowly become more and more enlightened.

Enlightenment is, I believe at the heart of it all, Love.
