What is Dristi in Yoga Practice? Where we look with our eyes when we do yoga.
Hello, my name is Cha Wilde. Today, we're exploring the profound experience of watching a sunrise from an upside-down perspective, both literally and metaphorically. By changing our perspective, we can gain new insights and clarity in our lives. In yoga, we practice 'drishti,' focusing our gaze on a specific point during different poses to cultivate awareness and inner focus. I encourage you to try hanging upside down or climbing to a high vantage point to shift your perspective and see any challenges you may be facing in a new light.
00:00:29 - Watching the Sunrise Upside Down
I describe my experience of watching the sunrise from an upside-down position, hanging off the edge of a platform in the ocean. This unique perspective created an optical illusion where it appeared as if the sun was dropping out of the water into the sky.
00:01:42 - The Power of Changing Perspective
Changing your perspective, whether by hanging upside down or climbing to a high vantage point, can help shake off any worries or stress. As highly visual creatures, altering our physical viewpoint can have a profound impact on our mental state.
00:03:44 - The Practice of Drishti in Yoga
In yoga, we practice 'drishti,' focusing our gaze on a specific, still point during different poses. The drishti point changes with each pose and can be a spot on the floor, a body part, or an object in the distance. This practice cultivates awareness, focus, and an inward journey.
