Alignment

Alignment is the state in which your thought, feeling, and being all point the same way, and that way is toward your own well-being and your desire. The teachers describe it as coming into agreement with the broader, wiser current of yourself, so that you stop rowing against the stream and let it carry you. In alignment, action becomes easy and inspired; out of it, even great effort grinds. It is less a thing you achieve than a relationship you keep, moment to moment, with the part of you that is already well.

The practical compass for alignment is feeling. The traditions teach that your emotions are guidance, a built-in indicator showing whether the thought you hold is in harmony with your deeper self or at odds with it. Reach for the better-feeling thought, ease toward relief and then toward joy, and you climb back into alignment. From there, the manifestations the seeker chases come almost as afterthoughts, because the real prize, the alignment itself, has already been won.
