Renowned yoga teachers, it turns out, are not immune from the bait of the ego. Eoin Finn, founder of Blissology and regular Wanderlust teacher, was leading a retreat in Bali when he had the revelation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab\u00a0In Bali, there are stars, there\u2019s are no walls,\u00a0\u00bb says Eoin. \u00ab\u00a0So I\u2019m sitting under the stars, looking at the light on my phone, when there\u2019s so much beautiful light coming in from all those beautiful stars. And I realized I was plugged into the wrong light.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s nothing wrong with wanting to be liked, of course. But for Eoin it was a reminder to cultivate his sense of worth within before he could accept it from outside sources, even if those sources are thousands of followers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I realized I was plugged into the wrong light.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00ab\u00a0Yoga is a beautiful teaching because the way the texts are translated in English is there\u2019s a small \u201cs\u201d self and a capital \u201cS\u201d Self,\u00a0\u00bb says Eoin. The self is concerned with ego gratification, while the Self is an inner knowing; a place in which we&rsquo;re happy without external reason.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00ab\u00a0Our happiness comes because we have an amazing relationship with the universe, with love, with light, with God, with nature; you fill in the blank,\u00a0\u00bb Eoin says. \u00ab\u00a0If we don\u2019t have that love of our higher self first and foremost, we\u2019re going to get pulled in a thousand directions.\u00a0In that humbleness, light comes in.\u00a0Ironically, it&rsquo;s in feeling so small that we realize the contribution of our own hearts to the greatness of humanity unfolding.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Instead of picking up your phone to search for comments first thing in the morning, try Eoin&rsquo;s Self-Love Meditation. Watch the likes roll in.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014<\/p>\n<p><em><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-113357\" src=\"https:\/\/wanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/bio.jpg\" alt=\"author photo\" width=\"200\" height=\"250\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.lisetteileen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lisette Cheresson<\/a>\u00a0is currently the Director of Content at Wanderlust Festival.
