RAMAKRISHNA ANANDA

Will Power and Creative Energy

A2 Beginning Class

Identify where you wish to apply will power. For example, choose a negative habit you want to change. Determine the opposite habit you would rather have. Now, put the energy-direct your will power-into the new, ideal habit.

Feel free to use visualization and affirmations, but to fully let your higher will express, use the hand position and focus your attention on your will center for 15 minutes. Never Strain-gather your attention patiently.

Practical Application

Experience your life several minutes — or hours, if you prefer — each day from the viewpoint of your “Third Eye,” your will center. Simply view your daily activities as if through the “window” of your will center. This helps you to develop a clearer mind, less inner conflict, and more successful action.

How to Succeed

As you may know, we do not charge for our courses. All Yoga World content is free and available to you with our blessings. However, we do have a simple, but important request that’s key to the transformations necessary to succeed on the path.

We ask you to commit two hours a week to selfless service. This service can be anything you choose ranging from helping a family member or neighbor to volunteering at a nonprofit organization.

I Commit to Serve

This commitment is solely between you and your inner self.

Why the Commitment?
