Like the nose on our face, we have repeated stories that move both consciously and unconsciously through our mind spinning over and over again like a hamster on a wheel.
These stories that constitute our world view usually serve us well and are “helpful” and not a “problem.”
However at times as we practice yoga and meditation, some of these stories or fragments of them may be expunged or extricated.
Like a splinter being pushed out from behind, the expansion of yogic energy, light, and joy may literally push out that which is limiting its expansion, that which occludes our more direct experience of the incredible lightness of being.
