Rama Krishnan's The Yoga of Self-Love is a profound exploration of self-discovery and inner healing. Combining ancient yogic wisdom with modern self-care practices, this book serves as both a guide and a companion for those seeking deeper connections with themselves.

Core Themes

Krishnan introduces readers to the concept of self-love not as indulgence but as a spiritual practice. Drawing from yoga philosophy, she emphasizes the union of mind, body, and spirit as the foundation for authentic self-acceptance. Each chapter unravels a layered understanding of self-love, moving beyond superficial affirmations to address deeper emotional wounds, self-limiting beliefs, and societal conditioning.

Krishnan's writing is both eloquent and approachable. She skillfully bridges esoteric yogic concepts with practical exercises, making the content accessible to beginners and enriching for seasoned practitioners. Her tone is compassionate, almost as though she is walking alongside the reader on their journey.

What sets The Yoga of Self-Love apart are the actionable practices it offers. From breathwork and mindfulness meditations to reflective journaling prompts, Krishnan provides readers with tools to integrate self-love into their daily lives. Her emphasis on consistency and small, mindful actions makes the book feel realistic rather than overwhelming.

Highlights

One standout aspect of the book is its inclusivity. Krishnan acknowledges diverse cultural, emotional, and physical experiences, ensuring her teachings resonate across various audiences. Additionally, her storytelling—peppered with personal anecdotes and insights from her students—adds depth and relatability.

Final Thoughts

The Yoga of Self-Love is more than just a book; it is an invitation to embark on a transformative journey. Whether you are a yoga enthusiast or someone simply looking to cultivate self-compassion, this book offers timeless wisdom and practical guidance. Krishnan’s work is a gentle reminder that the path to self-love is not linear but one worth pursuing.


Rating: ★★★★★

A must-read for anyone ready to nurture a deeper connection with themselves.

LIFE

                   Scenario #1: Warriors! Wait… are you still breathing? That’s life! Life will challenge you, knock you down, and sometimes feel like it’s too much to bear. But if you're still standing, if your heart is still beating, and you’re moving forward—no matter what—then it's time to celebrate that strength. Put a smile on your face, because you are alive.

Freedom vs Free Will

Look at the image above. What do you see? At first glance, it’s obvious—two birds flying away from a cage they were once locked in. But I see it in two ways: The First Perspective The birds were trapped in the cage until someone—perhaps their owner—opened the door, setting them free. Now, they can go wherever they wish, carried by the wind. The sky is vast and open, but even it has limits. Birds, like all creatures, have their own range; their flight is not infinite. Even freedom comes with boundaries. The Second Perspective Perhaps the cage was never locked—its door left open all along. The birds had a choice: to stay, to leave, or to return after exploring. The decision was entirely theirs. What’s Common in Both? Freedom and Free Will. The First Perspective: Freedom Misunderstood Society creates cages—rules, expectations, restrictions. When someone is confined for too long, sudden freedom can feel overwhelming. Like the birds carried by the wind, we may mistake absolute freedom as h...
