This is Chapter Eight of the SOUL ARTist WAY: Recovering a Sense of Strength. Our yogic lens is Tapas — steady effort, the fire of practice. And after exploring stability, and resilience, today we come to showing up consistently. faithfully. Because perhaps devotion is not one great act. Perhaps devotion is what happens when we return, and return, and return again.

There is the little fire someone lights in the morning. You cannot light it once and expect it to keep burning forever. It needs tending. Wood & attention. Protection from the wind. Sometimes you have to blow gently on an ember that looks almost extinguished. And this is where Tapas enters. The Sanskrit word is often translated as heat, austerity, discipline, effort. But for this episode I would like to emphasize the heat of devoted practice. The heat created by returning.
