HW: Journey to Joyful
This book has brought so much love, joy, and healing to my life. I have read it multiple times now, and I’m still learning new things each time that I read it. I am so impressed and moved by this book. Some specific teachings that impacted my life and teacher training experience Worthy teachings about The path to wholeness being the journey to self-love. I really appreciated the point that we must feel safe and free within ourselves before we are able to fully serve others in any way, especially in teaching. I appreciate how the book goes into our body is created to move and that this movement should be joyful and not it can help with this process of finding self-love. As well as the journey to taking care of oneself, honoring one’s self, and getting to know oneself on a deeper spiritual level. Healing has always been at the Forefront of why I practice yoga and joined this specific yoga teacher training. Therefore, I really appreciate and have been moved by all of the different levels of healing that are addressed in this book. I think something that will stick with me the very most, and has made the biggest impact on me, as I move through my own personal challenges, is the part about addiction and how addictions are an outdated paradigm. Addiction runs deeply in my family and in the lives of many whom I love. Addiction has been a struggle for me in my life as well.
The emotional reasons why we drink, smoke, and overeat really hit hard for me… And has inspired me to take hold of my own addictions, and to be more curious when I noticed myself wanting to overindulge in anything. I weave in and out of taking good care of myself, and abandoning myself, but I now feel ready to dedicate myself to this deep self-love, and deep healing on the level of what I allow my mind, body, and spirit to consume. I felt very validated by this book and the explanations of why people indulge the way that they do. I also feel inspired and ready to take conscious control of my life, and dedicate more time to my yoga practice and Spiritual Development, rather than numbing and avoiding using addictive tactics and behaviors. Thank you so much for this book, Dashama. I love and appreciate you.
