The Hindu monkey God
March 20, 2013
Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god,
is one of the most celebrated figures in Indian religion.
Believed to be an avatar of Lord Shiva,
Hanuman is worshiped as a symbol of
physical strength, perseverance and devotion.
Yoga is not just posture !

“Remember,
it doesn’t matter how deep into a posture you go,
what does matter is
who you are when you get there.”
Max Strom
Yoga is not just posture.
The form, a perfect physical body, is not the goal.
The body is simply the vehicle we use to bring us
toward a deeper experience of who we are:
The Inner Self.
The goal of yoga is to channel the mind, body and spirit
so that each works together leading to a greater personal understanding.
When all aspects are in balance,
we are able to transcend the physical
and experience the deeper subtlety of our being.

Thich Nhat Hanh’s key teaching is that, through mindfulness,
we can learn to live in the present moment
instead of in the past and in the future.
Mindfulness is the energy of being aware and awake
to the present moment.
It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply
in every moment of daily life.
To be mindful is to be truly alive, present and at one with those around you and with what you are doing.
“The most precious gift we can offer anyone is our attention.
When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.”
Thich Nhat Hanh

Trying to stop the pain goes against the process of transformation
and hence not in harmony with the process.
It makes you hold on instead of letting go.
Don’t try to protect yourself from the pain.
If you hold on more, the pain will be worst.
Let it go, Surrender !
The beauty of Savasana…
February 20, 2013
“Savasana is being without was, being without will be. It is being without anyone who is.”
Light on Life, B.K.S. Iyengar.
Savasana, or Corpse Pose, is one of the hardest to perform
as the physical body is meant to be as still as a corpse, yet the mind is kept passively active.
As we lie in Savasana, we focus on being present
without going into dreamland,
without sleeping,
without acting,
without achieving.
