Thoughts On Drishti
In yoga we hear a lot about focusing your drishti. I recently read an online article in Yoga Journal's Yoga 101 section of their website that illuminated the phrase that you hear a lot of yoga class quite simply and elegantly and gave me much food for thought, as I contemplated just how and where I focused my eyes while practicing my asanas. https://www.yogajournal.com/yoga-101/the-eye-of-the-beholder. The article made me realize that sometimes my constantly wandering mind (especially susceptible to roaming because of my chronic anxiety) could be stilled by concentrating on my drishti. I see drishti as a way of seeing and also a way of disengaging your monkey mind and tuning into your third eye to access that inner knowing that only each and everyone of use knows is our truest council. Practicing where I place my dristhi ( point of focus) in my daily yoga practice will enhance my energetic flow, soothe my racing thoughts and clear my 6th chakra, the anja point. This is just what I need right now. Clarity.
