Modification
of the mind or your thoughts is just like modifying the poses in yoga class. It’s
not that we change; it’s that we make a slight adjustment so that we find the
place that is comfortable and right for us. We don’t choose to either stay in
the pose or to not do the pose we simply move in such a way that the body becomes
comfortable, the mind becomes quiet and the soul takes a breath. Modification means
to make slight adjustments. So when we modify the mind we are consciously minding
the mind. We are in control of where our thoughts go. We are constantly modifying
our thoughts to bring us either anguish or non-anguish.
The first modification
is right knowledge. With right knowledge one never has to choose. It is not a decision
between what is good and what is bad. One simply moves towards good. To do this
you must find your center. It is from here you can choose. Your center is the place
that from wherever you go or whatever you do it always leads you to good. But remember everything in life gets modified or
adjusted to each of our own points of view.
So use the
yoga poses to understand modification. If you struggle with a pose modify it by
moving closer to your center which is the place where you will always find your
balance.
If you find yourself
struggling this week, modify your thoughts and move yourself closer to your center.
It is the place of right knowledge and will always lead you towards what is
good.
