You Move Me (The Gift of Dharma)

Finding 'Me" in India 2023

Insight often comes to us while we’re busy experiencing life. And sometimes revelations happen while you’re on your yoga mat. Traveling solo through parts of the world has enabled me to spend time going inward, and addressing questions openly to myself. Questions like “What is my purpose?”

Finding our purpose, or Dharma, is one of the great questions posed by all of mankind. A mystery to be solved. What is our purpose? How do we find our path? Our true Dharma? For me, the answers are coming a little closer. My personal Purpose is starting to take shape through spending time in nature, practices like meditation, self-study and yoga. And by allowing god, and yes, yoga, to work through me.

Because our bodies hold answers, too. Work on the yoga mat allows some of this innate wisdom to blossom. It’s not magic, but sometimes feels like it.

May you find your purpose, the gift of Dharma, through seeking, opening your heart, and yes, on the yoga mat!

In light and love,

Ella

You Move Me

by Ella Whitfield

London, England 2022

On the yoga mat again

And I am moved

To find ME.

And my Power.

Moved.

Towards tenderness for my own heart,

And by god, channeling my fierceness.

Oh, those waves of feeling.

Unexpectedly, yes I am moved.

I exist in this form

As I was meant to be.

Moved though I Am,

To seek my best self

I feel my Power, and oh, that freedom rising!

Slowly, I begin to see Me.

My power is

A gift inherent.

You, the Divine spirit

grace my very being.

You move in my heart, which beats

With that essence that is Me.

And I am moved...
