"Your vision will become clear only when you look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens." Carl Jung
Your Dru Yoga Practice and your Personal Vision
Tips for creating and Realising a Vision
So many of our students and friends have loved ones nearing the end of life, or who have recently passed onwards - and we are sending so much love to you. It's one of the most challenging experiences any of us will have - difficult, hard, and often filled with incredible transcendence and beauty.
Loving you is so easy, dear Lord...Your love is everywhere, in everything...
When we gaze at the sun setting over the water, we see Your glory before us
Looking at an autumn leaf on the ground, we see Your care and attention to detail.
The tiniest spider exploring the bathtub permits us to see Your beauty
Looking up at the sky above us we see Your magnificence!
When waves crash against rocks and thunder rumbles and roars, we hear Your power
A couple of weeks ago I had a tricky week, a change in medication sparked off some considerable physical, emotional and mental discomfort, yet there is always a lesson to be learned when we experience difficulties and challenges.
Aparigraha is the last of the Yamas and possibly one of the greatest opportunities for inner peace and freedom... What does it mean? Non-hoarding, non-possessiveness, non-seizing... are we acquiring and holding on to things which we do not need?
There is a famous quote by Mahatma Gandhi, “There is enough for everybody’s needs, but not for everybody’s greed.” Cultivation of Aparigraha is both the invitation and opportunity to look at our own lives and see how we collect or possibly even hoard things that we do not need.
Yama number four is Brahmacharya... We might translate it as ‘moving towards truth’ and in order to do so it is essential to practise self-restraint.
The third of the Yamas is ASTEYA, non-stealing. ‘Thou shalt not steal’ is very familiar in our culture coming from the Christian tradition and being another very obvious part of the moral code shared by many traditions and cultures.
We have laws which make theft of any kind... mugging, robbery, shoplifting etc... not forgetting copyright laws and patents... illegal. There are also laws regarding slander and libel which help protect people’s reputations. The legal system quite rightly punishes those who break the law.
SATYAM is the second of Patanjali’s Yamas and it means TRUTH.
We all know what happened to Pinocchio when he told lies... Indeed honesty and truthfulness are virtues aspired to in all moral codes, for telling lies can have dire consequences, but let us delve into this concept a little deeper.
ISVARA PRANIDHANA may be translated as Surrender to the Divine
We may study a whole range of things in our lifetimes but ultimately the most important subject of study is our Self.
