The Yoga of Twitter

The word yoga literally means to yoke or unite. This union is nothing short of divine. A conscious merging of the self (ego) with the self (pure consciousness). This may also include uniting with the consciousness of others of like mind. The Sanskrit word which best describes this is Shangha or community. There are many steps in the yogic process which reveal who we are as well as our view of the external world and our relationship to it.
One of the steps that allows us to recognize our innateness is simply observation. Our tweets become a reflection of our deepest values, desires, likes and dislikes. Our consciousness becomes etched in our tweets 140 characters at a time (or less). Like a stream of thought molecules flowing like a river of reflective energy expressing our awareness. If we step back, we can observe the patterns that shape our minds as well as the greater collective. We can then make conscious choices to either reshape those thoughts and in some cases express them as action in the real world. In other words, tweets can shape our day to day thinking and may influence not only our actions but also the actions of others. Read more

As we interact with people at work, family members, a spouse, society in general, as we gain (and lose) friends and lovers, deal with all manner of triumphs and tribulations, we must remain fixed on the one aspect of our practice that should reside at the forefront of our consciousness. In a word, Transformation. Read more
