11th Step Meditation: Sutra 1.33. 2.3.11

We read Ravi Ravindras translation and commentary of sutra 1.33 (The Wisdom of Patangali's Yoga Sutras, p. 35-36). In discussion it was brought to light of the similarities to the 12 step teachings, particularly step 10-12. Someone also commented, "its basicially the whole 12 step program in a nutshell".

Sutra 1.33 has been a personal favorite tool for a few years, and one that continues to reveal itself in more and more useful ways. It helps make space for whatever comes up. I was grateful today to make further connection to life in recovery.
