Yoga teaches us that the present is all that we have. We know that the stories we manufacture in our mind about the future, have not happened yet, therefore are not true, but what about your past? In the video below, scientist Elizabeth Loftus proves that even our memories can be manufactured and are not to be trusted.
The Take Away
No matter how horriable your past seemed, it should not define who you are now
You are not your past
You are not your thoughts
See every moment with fresh eyes
Question your assumptions
Practice forgiveness
Be open to the idea that what you think is the truth, can change in a heartbeat
Practice non attachment to your thougths and memories
