Yoga is about where we find ourself. Its about this moment. Being aware of the bottom touching the floor, the feet on the floor. It is the sensations, perceptions, thoughts, feelings, emotions, ideas, visuals all that we are aware of right now. How can we then limit the understanding of yoga as a posture, a movement , a value , an attitude?? Is it not all of our life? The totality of what is going on, what we are present to, right now?
in own practise and life, I have come to question everything. I have reached a place where labeling things is just not interesting anymore. It seems futile and quite meaningless. Everything is such a constant state of change, of flux that pinning things down is pointless.
When I have so much beauty around me, how come I overlook it? Beauty in so many expressions of life. This doesnt mean that there is absence of unpleasantness or pain. It means that there is the pain and also here is something beautiful. Here is joy and something else which could be repulsive or worth rejecting. Something that can overtake the senses and engage the mind fully so as to ignore other present aspects of reality.
The challenge is how to remain grounded in reality. All of it, even if at times we narrow our focus. Zooming in and zooming out! This image I found on the net, nails it
