Realm of Practice

Author: Jie Kong

Realm of practice is a metaphorical concept describing sacredness of our development. It includes symbols and meanings, which allow you to weave inner world and then outer reality, forming the purpose of existence. We cannot live without direction and to practice without involving our attention.

Practice is not WHAT you are doing, but HOW. It is NOT about following tradition or names blindly but operating and mastering your attention and power of concentration. Degree of awareness is what predetermines quality of life for each woman, her interests, her searches.

You can see many women in yoga schools and meditation classes nowadays. Unconsciously most of them are following the call of their spirit, and each of them is at least open for inner quest to find the answers.

Being in practice means living between questions and search for an answer, to become your own Oracle, to receive responses from within. It is about consciously living each moment, being in a state of harmony despite all factors that may distract you. It is about finding sanctuary of inner peace or creating sacred space for your practice.

The realm of practice is a labyrinth consisting of many halls. As we progress through them, we’ll gain experience of delving deeper, overcoming, first of all, our imperfections (prenatal and postnatal conditions) and wrong inclinations of the mind.

Exploring the more profound nature of reality, you will find there your light, illumination of the spirit in matter. It is not a superficial form of existence, but what guides us towards eternity. Realm of practice is a particular form of understanding the essence of things; it is a laboratory where structure, functionality, and potential capabilities of our consciousness are essential.
