Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
Writer and Musician, Jahnavi Harrison:
What a scorcher this week has been for some of us! 鈥 get a silly grin on my face just walking out the front door. The summer air feels different. With all the stressful ups and downs of recent months, the lift of sunshine and hopeful breezes feels like a surprise gift. Surprise because 鈥 yeah 鈥 we can never really count on it here鈥hich I think makes it all the more precious! In the ancient teachings of yoga, the sun is a manifestation of the divine 鈥 known as Suryanarayan. Traditionally yogis would rise before dawn and greet the sun with prayers, honouring it as a source of life and God鈥檚 grace.听
It takes some forward planning to get up before sunrise every day鈥nd then for the committed, those prayers are repeated at noon, when the sun is highest in the sky, and at dusk as it sets. I started doing this practice last year, and though I must say with daylight savings I haven鈥檛 manage to do the dawn one very much, I do try to do all three each day. I find that taking that five minute pause to ground; closing my eyes and going to the sacred space within; offering prayers that remind me of what I hold most dear - really enriches my life. It also offers a new type of connection and conscious awareness of the sun that wasn鈥檛 there before.听
The sun purifies, heats, awakens life, ripens and gives rise to all manner of beautiful things. I remember a time about four years ago when I was in a really low spot. I felt lost and bewildered - heartbroken - after a series of unfortunate events.听
I was scared. It felt like I was in a hole I didn鈥檛 know how to climb out of. I remember one day noticing the presence of the sun as if for the first time, and day after day, starting to find solace and lightness of heart in its silent, all embracing warmth. It became a friend; ever dependable, seeing all without judgement. This time is full of uncertainty, for me, and so many. There is much I could be fearful or anxious about鈥 So I鈥檓 all the more grateful 鈥 yes鈥or ice cream weather鈥ut more simply for the light of the sun鈥owever long it lasts.
