Holigent Yoga to Heal the World

HOLIGENT

SOLUTION

Holigent Yoga = Yoga + Activism

The yoga instructor may introduce the Holigent Yoga concept with a few words at the beginning of the yoga class. Explaining to the class that Holigent Yoga is simply practicing your favorite yoga combined with activism. The seed of activism is contained in a mantra and the instructor will lead the class repeating the activist mantra.

The concept of Holigent Yoga is emerging from the realization that practicing yoga as usual in our climate-changing, feverishly stressed, conflicted, war-torn and nuclear-armed world is like practicing yoga in a burning house — achieving lasting inner peace is unattainable. Therefore, yoga needs to continue reinventing itself as it has throughout its long history to heal the world.

It is beyond the skillsets of politicians and institutions to create a peaceful and sustainable world. It is now an existential challenge of yoga practitioners to create a movement actively extending yoga beyond the studios — projecting inner peace out into the world and bringing people into the the practice of Holigent Yoga.

Holigent is coined from holistic and emergent. Holigent is a concept and practice of societal retrofit and reconstruction to comply with nature’s building and sustainability code. All in the interest of building a future of social, economic and environmental justice; quality of life; and systemic sustainability in which our children and future generations can survive and thrive.

Why do this? Because the internalized stress we accumulate individually is a factor in human illness and aggressive behavior. Collectively, stress makes societies sick, conflicted, dysfunctional, angry and violent.

Do it all with love and laughter, research tells us that even a fake smile improves brain chemistry; smile and laughter produces endorphins, the good chemistry, displacing the chemistry of stress.

Urge U.S. Congress to establish the Department of Homeland Reconstruction to fund societal retrofit and reconstruction projects to reduce socioeconomic stress and build a future of peaceful sustainability.

Spread the awareness and promote the movement of reducing global stress, one individual at a time, within and beyond yoga studios. When you do, you are planting the seeds of a future of universal quality of life, global peace and systemic sustainability.

I am ready to follow the spirit of Socrates

the same mindset that created it”

the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon.”
