既然有緣到此一訪,
何妨放鬆一下妳(你)的心緒,
歇一歇妳(你)的腳步,
讓我陪妳(你)喝一杯香醇的咖啡吧!

這裡是一個完全開放的交心空間,
躺在綠意漾然的草原上,望著晴空的藍天,
白雲和微風嬉鬧著,無拘無束的赤著腳,
可以輕輕鬆鬆的道出心中情。

天馬行空的釋放著胸懷,緊緊擁抱著彼此的情緒。
共同分享著彼此悲歡離合的酸甜苦辣。
互相激勵,互相撫慰,互相提攜,
一齊向前邁進。

也因為有妳(你)的來訪,我們認識了。
請讓我能擁有機會回拜於妳(你)空間的機會。
謝謝妳(你)!

If you find yourself twitching when the news comes on, snapping at loved ones, or having no emotional reaction to a difficult event in your own life, you may be disconnected from your inner life. Human life is multi-faceted. When you think of your own, the various external areas—career, family, hobbies, significant others—may come to mind first. But what about your relationship with self? This internal life often fades from view, or consciousness, when your external life or events in the broader world become overwhelming or tragic. In the wake of natural disasters, political instability, or personal loss, your internal life requires active participation, not stasis. It is the key to reconnecting with your personal values and how you can live in alignment with them.

What It Means to Be an Internal Activist

Amplifying your inner world—through what I call “internal activism”—helps you creatively and completely experience your days, relationships, and self. The key to leading an internally active life is to stay attentive to yourself. This involves not just noticing what you are doing day-to-day but how you are feeling and participating in your relationships. This doesn’t have to be at the exclusion of others or everyday productivity. Focusing on external needs or ticking items off a to-do list can be gratifying, but in the long-term, and when times are tough, it’s important to remember that you can’t passively connect with your self.
You don’t have to go on a destination retreat (lovely as that may be) to activate your inner life, though. With curiosity about your self, you can start now, right where you are. Kriya yoga, the yoga of action, is all about practices of self-care and awareness. Its three components are svadhyaya(self-study), tapas (effort), and ishvara pranidhana (love). This six-part series will explore each of these in detail. For now, let’s look at activating your internal life by reconnecting to your feelings.

How to Activate Your Inner Life by Reconnecting to Feelings

Internal action doesn’t have to involve physical action and can be very simple. I am most able to re-enter my inner life when I take at least 10 minutes, by myself, sitting on a meditation cushion. I close the door so my 85-pound dog doesn’t try to sit on my lap. And I sit. And I breathe.
You could try that or go for a walk without your phone. You could stay in bed for 5 extra minutes in the morning and notice how you feel and which thoughts creep up at the beginning of your day. As with all yoga practices, activating your inner life takes repetition and practice.
