Today’s Positive Practice suggestion

Today’s Daily Yogi Practice is to consider our Dharma or Path for 2021.

What is Dharma?

Dharma is an eastern concept central to both Buddhism and Hinduism that many of us in the west are not necessarily familiar with. Linguistically, Dharma is usually translated as law, order, or duty. Basically, Dharma states that we all have a purpose and path, and our lives will be easier if we follow the path that is meant for us.

I personally went through a crisis of Dharma during my 20s building a career as a tax accountant, and am so thankful I accepted (perhaps I was forced to accept) I was on the wrong path and began to move in a different direction.

Many of us experienced career and other life changes during COVID, and if you are feeling lost about your direction, some Dharma exercises may be VERY helpful for you!
