Your soul is great and Divine, even if it’s carrying some baggage. You know how when you’re wearing a heavy backpack, or carrying a suitcase or two, it can throw you off-center? So, you might be trying to live your life while balancing all the baggage, meaning you’re living off-center. The good news is that you’re shedding the baggage with every yoga practice, with every meditation, with every mantra repetition, with every pose and yogic breath, with every chant. And even listening to these teachings, you’re shedding baggage and getting more and more centered. More and more based in your own Divine Essence.
