The Guru Within

Acknowledge that the Guru is not a person you venerate, the Guru is anything that you learn from. Turn inward and see what your body is teaching you. Look outward for inspiration from the world, the Guru can take the form of something you learn from another person or experience, but do not mistake the individual you learn something from for the Guru. The Guru is everywhere in everything. My teachers say, if someone tells you they are your Guru, then run away screaming. You are your own teacher, learn from yourself and find out what your body is trying to tell you about the stuck places and energy you find in your practice.
