“What do you want the book to do for you?” was a question I had asked of someone.
It struck me as an odd question, but I needed to know what the person was seeking.
What are you looking for the book to do for you, what problem will it solve, what part of you will it make better, can it correct a wrong and make you a better person, will it be a map to follow, a way out?
How much of our well being are we hoping to find in these books?
I am not talking about books for pleasure, we use for escaping reality, but rather the ‘self help’ books, the books claiming to change your life.
Maybe it helps you see yourself from another’s point of view; like seeing your truth written by someone else.
Our body feels the truth as we read it, somewhere a bell rings, the truth of our experience is echoed by someone else, perhaps it is this that we are searching for, to find a like minded spirit, someone who is walking our same path but is much further ahead.
This same concept can pertain to yoga as well, that it helps us all to hear the stories of others, to feel the camaraderie of fellow yogis as we traverse this path of Bikram Yoga. It is always nice to see and hear of others doing more yoga or better yoga or overcame this obstacle or that and still was able to continue on.
Storytelling is a way to weave the common thread among all people. We are much more alike than different.
Mostly we are on the same path, just in different places!
I am here and you are there, I have walked differently my beat was for me; listen to the sound of your life, what it wants from you now.
Express yourself uniquely on this path of life.
