Healing Myself with Jnana Yoga by Rina Jakubowicz

Who am I? is the main question that a Jnana Yogi asks.  After my divorce a few years ago this was the question that consumed my mind.  I didn’t know if I was right side up or upside down, if I was coming or going, and if I was emotionally going to survive.

I felt that my ideas of life as I knew them were all washed away with my failed marriage and I was suffering.  This incessant discomfort stirred something in me that said “ ENOUGH!!!”  I was emotionally drained and I wanted to find a way out.  Since I had been practicing yoga for over 10 years, I figured that now was the time to put these yoga tools to good use.  And I did.

However, I chose not to approach my healing process with the type of yoga commonly practiced in studios like in the physical form.   Instead, I practiced Jnana Yoga.   I asked myself, Who am I?  How did I get here?  How do I stop suffering?

With curiosity, each question led me to a deeper and deeper inquiry.  The answers weren’t revealed to me until I threw caution to the wind and became fearless.  With that came the gifts of understanding and acceptance showing me how to truly love myself.  Upon discovering the powerful impact of these teachings, I created a simple and effective transformational process to share with others.

Inspired to take these practices, thoughts and discussions ‘on the road’, it is with gratitude that I invite you to CHOOSE PEACE.
