Joy does not always visibly show up as joy as we expect it to look and make our life more joyful.
Rather, at times, the joyfulness of the Self acts more like a ballast that helps balance our emotional state especially during difficulties life poses.
It gives us a steadiness that might otherwise not be there, helping us be more present and calmer to circumstances at hand.
It is a natural ballast to the sadness that can fill the ever-compassionate heart.
Practice your yoga and mediation faithfully and trust this ballast of joyfulness will do its part to balance your ship of life.
It’s got your back!
