Growth

Writer's picture: Bridge the Gap YogaBridge the Gap Yoga

What is it that exists in a seed which propels it into germination, bursting the barriers of its current existence as it reaches up through the darkness of Earth towards the light above?

All living things possess in them a natural impulse towards growth. It is this expansive nature of the Universe that exists in us. Right now, as far as our scientists can tell, the Universe is expanding - and so are we.

Evolution would show us that somewhere along the family tree (no pun intended) many years ago, our ancestral biological life forms divided away from that of plant life. In fact, on a cellular level in a the human body, we still share many of the same machinery that plant cells do. We require sunlight. We require water. We are still very much the same. Including that natural impulse to move upwards away from Earth towards a radiance above. To grow. To expand. To burst the barriers of our current existence.

Our job, our only job, and the only one worth doing, is to cultivate our own 'seeds'. To nurture them and allow them to germinate. To discover this innate potential in our own being and give it just the right amount of attention and love so we can stand back and observe as nature runs its course through us. We must make this our life's work. In doing so, we awaken the Great Spirit that has given us life, that gives us all life, the One that gives each tiny seed enough oomph to destroy the limitations surrounding it and overcome the immense gravitational forces binding it downward.

There are many ways to do this. How are you?
