Happy Baby Pose

One of my favourite poses in yoga is the Happy Baby Pose. I figure the reason is that it feels so familiar and natural. Perhaps somewhere buried in my subconscious, there is a connection of the feeling that this pose engenders to my Inner Being.

Our Inner Being always wants to connect with us. It patiently waits, giving us a nudge now and again, informing us of its presence offering guidance, unconditional love, and the avenue to connect with the Universal Source of everything.

Our Inner Being encourages us to sit and be quiet. It does not ask for much time, 20, 30 minutes of tuning into vibrations and making the connection. I do not know if we have a fear of sitting or a fear of being quiet or perhaps the fear is the fear of what we may hear when we quiet our monkey mind. There should be no fear, it may seem frightful in the beginning but the reward at the end is worth it. I have always advocated if you cannot sit then lie down, if you cannot lie down, walk in nature, if that is not possible then go wash dishes, garden, listen to music, take a long drive, any activity that allows you to tune into the inside, explore and listen. The key here is the listening, not so much the doing. Just whatever you are doing make sure it allows for the listening.

When that connection is made by us finding that quiet space in our mind, even if just for a few seconds at a time and our vibrations are raised and we lock into that connection with our Inner Being, we feel a positive shift. It is subtle and powerful at the same time. We feel part of something bigger than ourselves, we connect with Source Energy. We meet the God within; some Inner Beings do cartwheels, mine does the Happy Baby Pose.

I invite you to try it. You need no special tools and the only requirement is a little of your time that will allow you to reap a bountiful harvest.

And at the end of the day, whether it be cartwheels, high kicks, quiet bliss, or the happy baby pose, the satisfaction of your Inner Being is priceless.
