Cultivate Positive Energy

By Paul Jerard, E-RYT 500 

How in the world can Yoga help you find prosperity?  Where does the path to prosperity begin?  It’s a tough economy out there; how can I think about anything other than survival?  These questions are asked more often lately, than most of us have heard in a lifetime, but let’s address each one and you will find your path toward prosperity. 

Where does the path to prosperity begin?  Much like Yoga practice, the path to prosperity begins within each of us.  One key is that we have to feel that we make a difference in this lifetime.  This is not a difficult task, but it requires that you support your friends, family, colleagues, and associates, in times of need.  Just by listening, you can make a difference.

You can create a culture of prosperity within and share it with others.  The result is the same as the Law of Karma and the Law of Attraction.  The positive energy you send out will always come back to you, even when you do not want anything for it.

It’s a tough economy out there; how can I think about anything other than survival?  If all you can think about is survival, you and your family will likely survive.  This applies to any situation, whether it is economic or life threatening. 

The reason being: Some of our ancestors survived the Ice Age, wars, slavery, plagues, and holocausts, with the next meal as their only daily goal.  Some of them thought ahead, planned for better times, and created inventions.  Seeking prosperity is a process of setting your sights on a higher level of goals.

In order to plan ahead, you need “spare time.”  It does no good to dream about lofty goals, if your family goes to bed hungry.  Basic survival, in the form of food, clothing, and shelter, take priority over planning ahead.  However, once your primary needs are met, you can afford to find solutions for a better life.

How in the world can Yoga help you find prosperity?  Yoga has spread worldwide for many reasons.  It is inexpensive to practice, and it holds the keys of many gateways that lead toward a better quality life.  In comparison to any vice, Yoga is less expensive, yet many of the world’s poor often spend their last penny on bad habits.

Each style of Yoga is different, but all of them enhance physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.  Within every religion, gender, nationality, age, and social status, Yoga practitioners can be found.  The reason is simple: Yoga allows people a formula to end suffering.  For this reason, Yoga will continue to flourish worldwide.
