On this World Yoga Day, let us return to the true essence of yoga—not as exercise, but as the direct realization of your eternal Self. Yoga experientially teaches you that you are not the limited body or the fragmented mind. You are the infinite field of awareness from which all thoughts, sensations, and actions arise.
In the teachings of I AM Yoga, you are not the limited body or the fragmented mind. You are the infinite field of awareness from which all thoughts, sensations, and actions arise. The ancient seers and modern scientists both speak this truth. As Einstein said, “The field is the sole governing agency of the particle.” The body, the brain, the emotions—these are not the source of who you are. They are particles animated by the energy of consciousness.
Your ego mind sees only the particle—it sees the separate self, the matter, the form. But the Seer within you—your eternal Self—rests in the invisible field. This is your energy body, the sacred space where consciousness and Shakti flow as one. Every time you choose to see from the mind, you separate yourself from the Source. But when you dissolve the mind’s grasp and feel from the energy body, you return to the One.
Just as an atom is 99.99999% empty space and only .00001% matter, so too is your identity mostly made of energy, frequency, vibration, and pure intelligence. You are not the mask you wear in time. You are timeless Presence.
As long as you remain identified with the ego-self—the doer, the thinker, the knower—you attempt to create your life through control, effort, and struggle. This is creation through matter. But when you surrender the doer, when you withdraw your attention from the external world of names and forms, you enter the energy field of the present moment. Here, you are no longer trying to make life happen. You are letting Life express through you.
In I AM Yoga, we call this the Posture of Consciousness. You move from being the controller of life to becoming the channel of Source. You let go of the past and the future. You release your grip on people, places, things, and identities. You disinvest your energy from separation. And in that sacred moment, you return to the present—fully, without resistance. This is the gateway to timelessness.
Here, you are no longer creating from a fragmented self. You are creating from Wholeness. You are the I AM that precedes all thoughts, all identities. You are the field, not the form.
Disappearing Into the Now – Dissolving the Time-Bound Self
To enter the field of infinite potential, you must first surrender the illusion of the separate self. You do this not by thought, but by awareness. You take your attention off the story of your body, your past, your roles, and your identity. You no longer try to remember who you are—you allow yourself to forget everything you are not.
This moment is choiceless awareness. It is the pure state of Being where nothing is added, and nothing is taken away. You are not asleep, yet you are not doing. You are the Presence that witnesses.
In this sacred withdrawal, something extraordinary happens in your brain. The division created by stress—the fragmented compartments of thought, memory, and fear—begin to heal. The brain becomes unified. The nervous system shifts from fight-or-flight to rest-and-restore. And slowly, you return to your original state: coherence, clarity, and communion. This is not a mystical fantasy. It is an embodied experience. In this stillness, your consciousness becomes coherent, and so does your energy.
The Brain Unifies When the Mind Surrenders
As long as you live in reaction to the outer world, your brain becomes fractured. One moment you’re planning. The next, you’re remembering. Then worrying. Then blaming. Each shift splits the brain. Each stress response narrows your focus, fixates your energy, and cuts you off from Presence.
But when you open to nothingness—not as a void, but as the fertile womb of the Now—your brain begins to fire in harmony. The left and right hemispheres no longer oppose one another. Thought and feeling reunite. Beta waves slow to alpha and theta. You are not trying to solve anything anymore. You are simply being.
In I AM Yoga, we teach that when the mind stops interfering, the body’s wisdom begins to reveal itself. This is when the energy body awakens. The breath becomes even. The heart rate slows. The brain synchronizes. You become One—within and without. In this union, you no longer act from fear or desire. You act from pure intention, flowing from a coherent mind and an open heart.
Sending Coherent Intention Into the Field of Creation
Once your brain is coherent and your heart is open, your intention becomes a living prayer. It is not a thought you try to force into reality. It is a frequency you transmit into the quantum field. In I AM Yoga, this is the sacred science of surrender. You surrender your egoic will and allow divine intention to move through you. You are no longer creating from “I want.” You are creating from “I AM.”
When your consciousness is still, your energy becomes radiant. You emit a clear signal—an electrical pulse from the coherent brain, amplified by the magnetic field of the loving heart. The universe responds not to what you think, but to what you are. Your future is no longer a projection of your past. It is drawn to you like a magnet, because it vibrates in harmony with your energy. You do not chase your destiny. You rest in the frequency of the future already fulfilled. And it comes to you.
