Is Yoga Keeping You Poor? Is It Prepping You for Ashram Life or Daily Life?

Are you a yogi, a “spiritual person,” yet finding that you are not able to manifest prosperity on a practical level to meet your needs?

Namaste, as you probably know this blog is about creating a life of your dreams using “practical spiritual tools.”  And as I learn and have an epiphany, I rush to get that out to you.   You know that feeling when you are on the cusp of a breakthrough? Well I’ve got that now! It’s right now still a stew-blending my study of shiatsu and Five Element Theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine, yoga, more Yoga and lots of intensive meditation practice over the years. Plus lots of observation of other people and myself.  All of this and reading has sparked ideas on why some of us have difficulties with money-having enough and keeping enough to nourish ourselves.

Is one of your key chakra’s depleted and damaged?  Why?  That’s a part of the root issue-pun on the root chakra, muladhara chakra intended.  I”ll be saying more about what may cause this damage and how to begin healing, in my next post and on-goingly.  It’s a process.  Time to breakthrough!

Begin by reading author Anodea Judith’s article on Grounding & Manifesting, to start exploring whether our yogic practices may be having unwanted consequences in relation to money. Here is an excerpt:

Until recently there has been less said about sending our energy downward, into the Earth, along the current of Manifestation. This is often seen as less spiritual and, therefore, less worthy of our time and attention. Too many spiritual paths ignore the importance of grounding, at their own peril.

And please share your observations in the comment box, especially after reading her take on it.
