given me a lot of info to chew on. For reasons I don9t yet understand, I
feel compelled to dive deeply into the practices, so it9s good to know that
there9s a support group available. I9m excited about the journey ahead!
with much appreciation

"For reasons I don9t yet understand, I feel compelled to dive deeply into the practices "'
That compulsion is bhakti, pure and simple. It's wonderful you feel it so strongly. And it's
all you need to ignite what you're looking to ignite. You're on track and you're doing
things in the right order (calm before bliss).
The only pitfall is to avoid letting your bhakti turn your yoga into yet another ladder to
strivingly climb - another skill to "get good at", another merit badge. Everything's perfect
right now, exactly as-is, so yoga isn't bringing you anywhere or giving you anything. Your
practice is simply burning off your windshield's caked-on mud so you can more fully bask
in this innate perfection. Do these practices simply because your soul is drawn to them.
Approached in this way - with a happy shrug - you'll avoid the pitfalls!
