Plant New Seeds – Breaking the Samskara Chain
“Students would frequently ask Shri K.Pattahhi Jois about general tightness and inflexibility in the body, and he would often respond with a perplexing statement. Rather than addressing the body Guruji would simply say, “Oh many samskaras are there,” and move on. This left the students wondering where and what these “samskaras” were and why they had so many of them. What Guruji meant is that the students had many past experiences or traumas stored in their bodies and minds and this psycho-spiritual patterning was the source of the physical stiffness when practising yoga. With a little exploration into the yoga sutras, it is easy to find that the concept of the samskaras is essential to yoga philosophy. It is also easy to see that we all have many of these samskaras just like Guruji said!
Every moment, we have the opportunity of experiencing life with a fresh view, but very often we live our lives according to habits and patterns established in the past. Once these patterns are imprinted in our consciousness, they can be very stubborn and tough to change. The Sanskrit word for these repetitive patterns is samskara. Samskaras run on autopilot and unconsciously generate the same cyclical type of interactions in the world. Yoga gives us the tools to examine our personality, press pause, and plant new seeds. This Helps us develop new samskaras that are stronger than the old ones. Replacing old habits with new ones that are less harmful.”*
