The Daily Yogi

By Jayden Kyryluk  It is said the ocean is a better reflection of who we are than a mirror itself. Every wave is a lifetime, every lifetime a wave. You can step into the ocean twice, but it will be a different ocean. Constantly evolving and constantly changing, like us. When you step into the ocean a second time, you arrive with the experience that you have been there before. You are not the same, and neither is the ocean. Your cells die and are reborn, memories come and go, and every moment you are new. With every wave the ocean is reborn. Every wave a new thought, and every thought a new wave. They come and go…they come and go. Every moment brings renewal, for us and the ocean, echoing the power of growth within us. Life is but an ocean, and you are the shore. At some point, you must drift away and lose sight of it all. The shores of your identity fade away when you take off that tight shoe of who you think you are.  Step into the ocean. Step into who you really are.

By Kyle Wilfer Aadhithya-hrudayam Punyam Sarva-Shathru Vinaa-shanam – Peace comes to those who keep the sun in their heart As the sun prepares to perish on this day, allow our souls to rest and come anew with the growing strength of the force that gives us life. As the trees, plants, and small insects are awaiting their waking from their deep slumber in the coming months, allow us human incarnations to take this time to reflect, love, and know that the life force in the world is slowly becoming stronger. Allow the source of all life be kept in our hearts, in our minds, and in our spirit. The oneness of all on this manifested plane is symbiotic with the sun's strength and life giving power – allow us to never forget this ultimate truth. As we come from the source and will die to the source, allow us to manifest the source in all we do.  Kyle's Bio: I am witnessing the promises and pitfalls of this incarnation and writing is the mechanism in which the witness can speak. Throug...

By Aubert Bastiat   About 150,000 people in the world will die today. So if there was ever a time to stop holding back it's now. Stop holding back your love and share it generously with all those around you. Stop holding back your tears and grieve for the little boy within who was punished for crying. Stop holding back your f*ck, quit the porn, and channel your insatiable egos into ravishing her body, mind, heart and soul in the name of all that is holy. Stop holding back your suppressed desires to live the life, do the thing, travel the world, and be the wild human you were born on earth to be. Tomorrow isn't guaranteed for any of us. It all begins with being radically honest with yourself about what you truly desire. If you want to experience something you have to become it.  Want more peace in your world? Discipline your mind, meditate, and cultivate a relaxed and resilient nervous system so you can ground yourself and others into the zen of this eternal now. ⁣   Wa...

By Jayden Kyryluk We all want something. Good health, money, romance, adventure, a raise…it’s natural for us to want something we don’t have. We are animals after all; we look to the world for gratification. But why are the rich unhappy? Why do attractive people get depressed? Why does the fulfilment of love often flutter over time? What is the disconnect? Nothing lasts forever, and we know that. Whether we admit it or not, when we get what we want, we know it won’t last, and we look for something new as soon as we get it. It’s as if our desire for something is the thread that holds us to who we think we are. If that thread snaps, we lose ourselves. We’re always trying to keep that thread from breaking, asking, “ what’s next? ” Round and round we go, telling ourselves, “ this is it ,” and “ now I will be happy, now I am fulfilled .” When you get what you want, how do you feel? Great right? But for how long? How long until that new car or accomplishment brings you energy and fulfills yo...

By Jayden Kyryluk We are living on a rock moving through space in the midst of a boundless cosmos with no final end. Everyone you’ve ever known and everyone who’s ever lived has called this rock home. The insignificance of our existence is clear, but in this vast nothingness we find ourselves so deeply wound, we are invited to find our place in the grand tapestry of existence. Scientists estimate the probability of you being born is 1 in 400,000,000,000,000. That’s one in four hundred trillion. Go back to your great-great-grandparents and 128 people had to meet, form a relationship, and have a child; and that is only four generations back. If we assume humans have been alive for 3 million years, there have been 150,000 generations. Every single one of your ancestors had to meet at the right place and right time for you to be here. Then the right sperm had to meet the right egg. The odds of this are 1 in 400,000,000,000,000,000. That’s one in 400 quadrillion. The idea that everything h...

By Jayden Kyryluk What calls to you? A mountain, tree, or cloud? A song or painting? Observing the silence of the wind or the evening sun? What makes you feel most...you?  In these moments, you are witnessing the mirror of the soul.  First, find your mirror. These are spaces where the spiritual transforms the ordinary into extraordinary, where witnessing becomes feeling and feeling becomes truth. In Sanskrit, truth is satyam. Sat means “that which is true”; and yam means “to hold,” “to tame” or “to examine.” These moments where the mirror shines through are when you feel most you. When you examine and hold that which is true, and what is the truest of all? Your soul.  Forget your worries, forget the time and the person you think you are; find the mirror of your soul and sink into the ever-flowing river of truth.  These momentary spaces beyond time are the deepest and most blissful drops of existence. Like a drop of water to a growing tree, these moments nourish us wi...

By Jayden Kyryluk Yes or no. Yes or no. Our lives are ruled by these three and two letters words. Oh how incredible they are! Our choices and decisions lie on the path between yes or no. A thought comes! Yes, or no? Shall I act on this thought or not? A decision must be made! We are creatures of action living in a world of effervescent movement. Yes or no! A decision must be made! Sitting in the train station with so many other creatures all thinking the same thing - “yes or no?” Is this my train? Yes or no? Will I make it? Yes or no? We’re all trapped on the path between yes or no. The path is a moment that always leads to another like a train leaving one station for the next. A infinitely repeating moment unique to each of us.  Yes or no? A decision must be made! “Always be moving forward” our peers tell us. “Where you are now is not good enough” they tell us. “Always put one step in front of the other” we are told. The present must yield to the future! Yes or no, yes or no, yes ...
