Your Thoughts Impact Your Body
By Swami Nirmalananda on September 22, 2026

Physical tensions are not merely physical.

Even though many physical activities tighten and compress your spine, the things you do with your body are not the main problem. Your body is significantly more impacted by your thoughts.

Absolutely every thought that goes through your mind affects your body. This is because your body is the outward expression of your mind. Your body is not separate from your mind — it is the tangible, physical expression of your mind.

Those tight spots exist in both your body and your mind simultaneously. Even the tight spots in your life are expressions of the same inner tensions, which arise from more subtle levels within. By learning how to live in your body in a new way, you can melt the tensions in all these levels at the same time.

Soften into the position you are currently in. Right now, relax the unnecessary tensions and allow your body to soften as though you were in Shavasana…

Apparently my FB account was hacked so many times I had to hire professionals to clean it up for me. 1089 infected links and 289 trojans. Still working on doing the cleanup at my end. Be careful. I am taking my age off my FB account. Apparently even ads are targeted to people over 55. Have a great yoga day everyone.

Each year yoga reminds us to pick a word that is designates what we want to change. And remember that the most powerful changes come from the inside. So what new quality do you want to develop in 2026? Resolve to make it become a habit. Habits that solidify become part of our character and then our life style. I am not just what I do, I am who I am.

So I have been contemplating my word over the holidays and finally settled in Saucha, Purification, the first of the Niyamas, the yoga lifestyle practices I have taken a vow to follow. Saucha begins at the physical and worldly levels--cleaning out the clutter, all that stuff that I no longer use and cherish. Then I can start working on my mind and emotions. My dreams tell me I have lots to get rid of.

How about you? If you want something to read about NY resolutions from a yogic perspective let me know and I can share a few readings that I have.
