Shuddhi

Shuddhi is "purification". But more than that, its a 'comfort zone'.

Shuddhi occurs when everything goes your way, when life seems to flow easily, without hinderance. When you walk and talk and drive and do your job with an overall sense of ease and fluidity, that is shuddhi.

Shuddhi occurs when our energy level is increased. One such energy level is our health. So when we are health - all the internal organs for example - we are in shuddhi. But shuddhi is also mind and emotion, so that when our thoughts are undisturbed and our feelings are simply 'there', then we are in a state of pureness.

Doing Yoga helps us get in shuddhi .. as does getting a good night sleep, eating wholesome food, spending time with friends (like in Yoga class), and simply stopping and enjoying the lovely weather.

Om Peace!
