Yoga can be described as the process of discriminating core from periphery, and the subsequent realization of their essential unity. The egoic self is the peripheral self, which is just as peripheral to the True Self as an arm or a leg or a passing emotion. Yet we are often fooled into identifying with our egoic self, which is comprised of fleeting thoughts and passing emotions. When we are locked into peripheral (ego-directed) consciousness we are only seeing a small part of reality. Living in this way, we are never satisfied, and we tend to become increasingly discontent and contracted in our body-minds. The practice of Embodyoga® offers specific tools for Discriminating Core from Periphery and recognizing their underlying Unity.
