Working hard on yoga things, at work...

So I began reading Javamukti Yoga today and I am very pleased with what I am learning... There is a lot of information, a lot of words I have never heard but values I have always tried to instill upon myself and others. Every thought I have had about the world and the people in it has apparently been in the hindu religion and yoga practice since the beginning of time... It speaks of the holy trinity in a way I understand, a way that makes christianity itself still seem a little strange, however I always believed in the values of christianity just not the execution of it... This book says we must offer our practice up to god, which I believe in... I believe strongly in the power of prayer but never could explain why due to my vast inability to explain the process of prayer through christianity however now reading this text filled with ancient content from Hindu Sutras written and translated millions of times before the birth of christ things are started to make sense... I have a long way to go towards attaining even the slightest sense of enlightenment but I do believe I reach closer and closer every day. I am wondering if I would have turned a cold shoulder to these ideas if presented them at a younger age or if I would have embraced the practice and submitted myself fully to the practice of yoga. I am blessed and filled with gratitude I am discovering these teachings now however... I am still very young, I still have plenty to learn and I believe I also have plenty to teach. I may be a bit behind with some of the advanced yoga poses due to the illnesses that have plagued me and my lack of vigilent practice over the years however I have always had a thirst for peace, compassion and understanding. I also believe the struggles I have overcome play a large role in my ability to become more at peace with the world through the practice of yoga. "May all beings, everywhere, be happy and free. And may the thoughts and actions of my own life contribute, in some way, to that happiness, and to that freedom for all." My mother will tell you, from day one I have always wanted to spread peace and joy to the world... I have diverted from the path many times as people aren't always receptive of that, but with each let down and each and every blow I have come out stronger and more at peace and more willing to try to spread joy and peace. I hope that I have found a platform, a vehicle now where I can successfully do so with little argument. I love everything... I truly do, what hurts and what makes the world difficult to understand is the lack of love within others... I hope to more fully understand that inner turmoil... -Namaste.
