 As shared in my previous post, the Niyamas represent our inner spiritual practices, made up of five Niyamas: Saucha, Santosha, Tapas, Svadhyaya, & Ishvara Pranidhana.
♥️Svadhyaya ♥️ (Self-Study) This 👏 Is 👏 Everything. As @deepakchopra says: 'spirituality is self-awareness'. Svadhyaya is how we deepen our self-awareness. We engage in self-study when we slow down: ✨On our mats ✨In counselling ✨In heart-based conversations ✨While in nature, journalling, and meditaiton. The key is that we naturally embody svadhyaya (self-study) when we slow down! Michael’s Fave Self-Study Check-In: ✨How are you feeling in this moment? ✨What are you needing? ✨How can you support yourself in meeting your need(s)? ✨How can others support you in meeting your need(s)? Svadhyaya is the guiding principle of the Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School. By deepening our self-awareness, we shift from reacting to noticing and being, moment to moment. Would love to hear your reflections, if you are called to share! ♥️ Dr. Melissa Jay
