Being Real

“Real comes from the center of our unique essence and speaks to the moment from that center. Real has boldness to it, an essence, a spontaneity. Real asks us to live from a place where there is nothing to defend and nothing to manage. It is a contact with the moment that is not superimposed or prepackaged. Real is something we might not always like in another, but we come to know there will be no surprises. Real, though not always pleasant, is trustworthy.”

-The Yamas and Niyamas by Deborah Adele
