Yokie* Message
by Helen Ames
YAC (Yoke Advisor's Council) member
Ego is a universal character trait of all human beings. It gets a bad rap, treated as something we always want to remove or alter. The ego separates us from the oneness of all, allows us to get trapped in fear and anxiety about what other individuals are thinking or judging us for. Ahamkara the Sanskrit word meaning ego is literally translated as the I-maker: I am here, I am alone, I am successful, I am loved, I am disappointing, I am sad, I am happy. The ways we identify ourselves are limitless and ongoing. We developed our ego for a reason; it helps us to identify with the current reality, understand the world around us and in some cases protect us. So how do we balance our ego with our yoga practice?
