To find your
center depends upon holding the right attitudes. The first is acceptance, the second
is kindness and the third is attunement or the ability to be receptive and open.
Accept yourself and everything just as it is with kindness and you will begin
to discover compassion. Next you must attune yourself from your center to the
center of everything. Be open and receptive to all of life. The more that you discover
the interrelationship between all thing the more you will understand life. With
acceptance and kindness comes compassion. With attunement comes understanding.
We can try to
intellectualize compassion and understanding, but it is impossible unless we
feel it. Intellectualizing separates and
compartmentalizes things. But when we feel things we truly begin to understand
them. Listen to music and watch what happens when you become attuned to the beat.
You and the music become one. Feel your breath and the poses as we move through
our yoga class and you will begin to attune yourself to a deeper understanding of
the nature of life. Accept yourself and your shortcoming, as well as others and
their shortcomings. Be kind to yourself and attune yourself with the nature of
yoga which is to discover balance, flexibility, strength and peace.
Hold to your
center. Accept all of life with kindness. Use understanding and compassion to
attune yourself to the very nature of life which is an understanding that we are
all interconnected in this vast web called life. What you do to one you do to all,
so be kind, accept things as they are and stay open and receptive. In this you
will find your center and at your center you will find peace.
