Every crisis hides a secret gift. It's an invitation to pause. Look the world around us. Look within us. Most people in the world are forced to look within when they hit rock bottom. It is in those mountain moments that the human spirit reveals its most brilliant and creative side.
A crisis demands solutions. But the best answers don't come from stress, aggression or fear. They arise from a centred, calm and composed mind that refuses to buckle under pressure. Instead, you are not in pieces but at peace.
Peace brings clarity. Clarity brings vision. And vision brings solutions that have always waited, longed to be seen. Often, what we seek is right in front of us. Our panic clouds our perception. Our hysteria makes us not knowing, tightening like a knot.
Inner force
When we are anxious, the body gets into fight-or-flight mode. The pulse quickens, breath shortens, and logic gives way to fear. But the belief can change biology. With just three harmonious and deep, rhythmic breaths one can instantly feel more itself. A confident, meditative mind automatically shifts toward creativity.
Don't let your tumult optimism blossoms and in its place calmness arrives. Life is not about being positive or negative; it is about being centered. From that centred position when clarity and peace become a creator.
Don't resist!
Whenever you resist, persists. Resistance creates tension, anxiety, and disharmony of self.
Champions are not born in comfort. When they are in challenge. When we are self-motivated, self-inspired and filled with conviction, we awaken an inner force that can carry us through the wildest storms, amid roaring rivers and turbulent oceans, a calm mind sails steadily, cool and composed.
The word 'community' that buttles the body's strength, also carries a message, "I'm Unity". When you are in unity with your breath, body and soul, life connects you with that inner rhythm and calms of the universe and the cosmos comes together in your heart. The beat of your heart joins the pulse of the universe. When you are peaceful and centred, your body's rhythm aligns with the movements of the stars, the movements of the planets, and the hum of the universe. You are one with deep oneness with all life.
The simplest definition of yoga means union, and union is our greatest strength.
Energy confluence
Yoga is not just posture; it is poise. It implies that the confluence of energies is at a very high flow. Do not flee or contradict but complete your inner harmonies and inner self.
When breath, body and mind come together, poise and insights appear effortlessly in consciousness. True creativity is our greatest strength.
The three B's—Breathe and Be active; it awakens it. When Breathe and Be come into alignment, when collaboration replaces friction, creativity blossoms. True creativity is not in conflict. We may spark it, but together we nurture it and become.
Alone one may be powerful, but together one becomes a force. Remember, creativity does not bloom under pressure. It is a state of relaxation. You cannot fake it, you can only invite it. Art is born when we still the heart. Listen to your intuition, it whispers. When this whisper is felt, peace and creativity is born. Believe in harmony and joy. True creativity is born. That's what true yoga is. It is the geometry of one's consciousness.
The rhythm of unity is the same as the pulse of creation. That is the life force that pervades everything.
That force of consciousness gives rise to consciousness and super consciousness. The three worlds of creativity (humanity's greatest achievements)—the fire, the wheel, the art, poetry and science—have emerged from that higher dimension.
Entropy is chaos. Yoga, mindfulness, and creativity are an attempt to restore order. They bring order where there is disorder, clarity where there is turmoil, and clarity where there is fear. Through the discipline of yoga and the practice of attention—we channel our conscious mind, our inner upward, breathe consciously and relax the mind and body. In this space, a deeper intelligence manifests. It is all-pervading, and creativity expresses itself, it is thought, every action, every breath.
In tune, immune
Crisis, then, is not an enemy but an ally, a wave of predictable, full of waves and turbulence—like a surf or surfer who rides those waves with grace and ease. When we are in tune, we are immune. When we are in harmony, health and immunity become one.
To heal yourself is to serve the world. To find your purpose is to redeem yourself. To live creatively is to live with dignity and calmness. So, if you want to awaken your inner strength, breathe again, begin by slowing down. Feel the rhythm. Feel the light. Listen to the silence. Take three deep breaths, feel the sun, the air, a bath, a sun bath, a spa, and you begin to feel the soul.
Rest is break. Laugh, dance, sing and celebrate because break is what made eat. Let your spirit rest and relax. Creative ideas flow like a river that was already there, waiting for creative ways to return.
When the creator expands, crisis loses its grip and humanity moves one step closer to living with a fuller potential to live in fearless power.
