Conscious Awareness: Experiencing the Journey

FEATURED ARTICLES

My biggest realization is how easy it is to slip away from awareness.  I don’t mean to suggest

that I’m conscious all of the time.  I spend most of my time in a semi?stupor state and only have brief

moments of clarity; and I’m not entirely sure that those moments are truly conscious . . . I mean, really .

. . how many levels of awareness are there?

Okay, that’s not actually my biggest realization in this experiment.  My biggest realization is that

I’m okay with not being aware all of the time.  I know that I can lessen the time spent in that semi?

stupor state by sadhana; and I know that I can decide to experience the journey, be it difficult or easy.  I

know that the separate part of me that finds all of this hilarious helps me through those difficult times as

if I am pulling me forward, asking myself the entire time “do you get it yet?”  I’m still answering myself

“Nope, not yet.”  Still, I choose to practice.  I choose to work toward experiencing every moment at

whatever level of consciousness I am in that moment.  I am experiencing the journey.

About Us

The Denver Yoga Underground began in 2003 at the request of dedicated students who wanted to study yoga as a holistic system. Over the years, a diversity of people, seeking education outside of a studio, found a welcome refuge in DYU.

Today we specialize in grassroots Pay What You Can workshops, accessible retreats and our signature yoga teacher training, for the outlier yogi.
