How to work with desire
Share
Once a desire arises in you, the seed is already sown. It exists first at the energetic level.
The fact that this idea has come through you already tells you something important: the intelligence of life considers you a capable channel for it to move through. What comes through you is meant to grow.
And what is meant to grow doesn’t need help—only space.
How do you give it space?
By not interfering. By not constantly checking whether it’s growing. By trusting the same intelligence that brought the desire through you in the first place.
Remain in Pashyanti.
Do not rush into Madhyama—the mental layer—to strategize.
Do not rush into Vaikhari—execution and action.
When you rush to think or act prematurely, you collapse the energy before it is ready. The desire shifts from flow to struggle. What could have unfolded naturally now feels forced.
When you remain in Pashyanti, you incubate the idea.
When your participation is actually required, you will know. A situation will present itself, and a thought will arise organically.
Now the real question is:
How do you know whether that thought is flow—or a block?
A thought that comes from flow is never coated with fear, doubt, urgency, or impulse. It arrives with a quiet sense of “this is right.”
Recognizing that difference requires inner awareness. And how do you build that awareness?
Vasi yoga.
Vasi yoga.
Vasi yoga.
Vasi yoga trains you to witness inner movement without reacting to it. It builds the capacity to stay with subtlety without collapsing into action. It is the foundational practice that makes all of this possible.
PS: I sense the quiet longing in many of you to return to practice and truly rest in flow. Hosting retreats over the past year has deepened my capacity to transmit Vasi yoga with greater clarity. If something stirs in you as you read this—a gentle pull toward the inner breath—reach out. I’d be honored to practice together. No rush; when the time is right, it will unfold naturally.
