OM
Why is it important to begin a yoga class with a prayer ?
It provides the essential grounding of self, takes focus away from self to the higher power or super consciousness. It is very important to shift from the I, me, myself syndrome. Prayer becomes an integral part of your Sadhana in class or at home.
Prayer constantly reminds me that ' You are not the Doer, so do not get attached to any actions.' The Doer is your super consciousness or the force which you believe in. We are here just to carry out actions without attachment.
Prayers can be chosen from many sholaka's or verses, but my personal favourite is starting the practise with 3 Omkars & ending with 3 Omkars.
It takes me on a different plane ... almost a trance like feeling....
More on the verses tomorrow.
II Om Shanti II
