,,The happines in my life depends on the relationship I have to myself.”

 Unfortunately, I didn’t know that for a long time. I was searching for love and happiness outside of myself. I wanted others to acknowledge my worth and I was constantly trying to prove that I deserve to be loved.Thanks to Kundalini yoga I know that everything I need is inside myself. I know that I am whole and perfect, even with my flaws. And so are you!

I have known since childhood that I want to be an actress. I worked hard and eventually I reached my goal. But moments of happiness mingled with great periods of sorrow. I was full of doubts about myself and what my life meant. Sometimes I felt like I was closed in a shell with no idea who I was, and my life was slipping by.

One day, I saw a leaflet with a butterfly. It was for teacher’s training in Kundalini yoga. I had no experience with Kundalini yoga, in fact, I didn’t even know what kundalini yoga is, but I signed up. 

I can’t say that I immediately changed. To be honest, I was sabotaging myself. Some part of me didn’t want to change anything. I didn’t want to admit that nobody else was responsible for my life. I had to learn that I can’t always get what I want and that life is not here to fulfill my wishes. I had to learn to be more grateful and to ask “What can I give back to the world?” 

Fortunately, I didn’t give up doing my course and kept practicing yoga. The more I practiced, the more I was able to see life from other sides. Slowly, yoga has become a part of my life — it’s a time when I’m with myself. I need these moments to calm down and find my inner strength to deal with everyday challenges. I can’t influence what is happening to me, but I can influence how I react to it. Kundalini yoga helps me tremendously. Every day I try to be more mindful and compassionate, which brings joy into my life.
