I Can't Do Yoga: Returning to a Better You

Think back to when all was well, and you felt at peace with who you were. We might have those moments periodically or rarely. Through Yoga, we can create those moments regularly and learn more about who we are. In those moments, we can bring joy and happiness to the surface of our minds. In Fairy Tales, we read about a magic wand that can instantly change things for the better. If you use your creativity to wave that wand, you can move towards living life in an improved mindset. 
In his book Tibetan Yoga Principles and Practices, Dr. Ian Baker describes Immaculate Perception, in which the yoga practitioner imagines themselves as a Deity. That might not appeal to some of us, but how could we use this thought process to let go and embrace the Sacred within us? If you believe in an afterlife, like Heaven, you probably think that you will experience pure love without sorrow or pain. By picturing yourself as pure love, you can begin to tap into heaven here on Earth. Shedding our ideas of what life on Earth is, we can experience holiness through visualization.
This creative practice can unlock potential happiness and free us from the suffering we’ve been conditioned to accept. Visualizing as a Sacred being can help you return to being a better you, your true self. Spending time with the good inside of you is a process of connecting to the Divine.
