Steady State Yogis

Chant the Keep Up Mantra

You’re in yoga class and holding your legs up at a 60° angle or struggling to keep your balance in a shoulder stand. Everything in your body says “Stop!” That’s the time to employ what Yogi Bhajan called the Maha Mantra of the Aquarian Age, “Keep Up!” Keeping up means staying positive, to keep moving forward, even when things are looking bleak. When you keep up, you will be kept up—whether you apply this principle to holding a yoga pose or staying steady when life gets you down.

When you feel and believe in your heart, as well as your head, that something good will come to pass, it invariable will manifest in some way. A “keep up” attitude helps you set aside your fears and mental insecurity and allows you to make action steps. You might just be amazed to find that things start to fall into place almost like magic. Try chanting this beautiful, keep-up affirmation recognizing that you are the “light of your soul” and trust that when keep up, you will be kept up!
