Where the Soul is Hidden: An Old Hindu Mythology Story
Welcome to the first episode of Sacred Spaces, a joint effort between Jennifer Dixon ERYT 500 of Thrive Yoga and Wellness and Merrit Plumb of The Energy Center. This is the first installment of a series dedicated to diving a little deeper into the stories behind yoga classes. In today's story, we talk about an ancient Hindu Story that teaches us why the soul is in each of us. Here's a summary: Many years ago, Brahma realized that the soul was in trouble. He held a council with other deities to discuss how to protect the soul. One suggestion was deep in the earth. Brahma said, no no that won't do, the humans will dig for it and find it. Another suggested the top of a mountain. Again, that wouldn't do because the humans would climb and find it. One suggested at the bottom of the ocean? Brahma said, no no they will find it there too. Finally, Brahma said, "I know where to hide it! I will hide it inside of them, they will never find it there!" Ever since, humans have been searching all over for something. Looking, every trying to find something missing, when really it is right here inside us all along. Listen in as Merrit and Jennifer discuss this beautiful tale and how they use it in their yoga practices.
