 Yoga part  5

Time is passing as my practice matures.
I no longer seek out the positions in the book.
Instead, I seek out my personal edge,
Moving with grace from asana to asana.

My mind is tied to my body by my breath.
I move into an asana and I hold it with awareness.
Balance, stillness, peace; all while discovering within,
As yoga has taken me to a new place in my life.

This is a place of true transformation,
Not just mimicking that which I believe to be.
I am honestly moving into truth within this moment.
My mind settles , now peace now rests in my mind.

My body reacts to this molding  and shaping of these asanas,
As perfection is already contained within my eternal soul.
The asanas direct this perfection outward, as I allow it.
The power of this truth melts my personality and ego.

From posture to posture, the flow is directed from within;
With power of enlightenment beckoning my soul down this path.
But the path is not without discomfort or pain;
It is not well traveled, because it is a hard road to follow.

I seek the yamas and niyamas within my life's presence.
I reach to parayama, learning to control my breath.
Then the last four spokes open up as I reach to perfection;
To the power of the light through introspection.
