Sweet Vinyasa: Now. 1.14.13

ages from many spiritual traditions emphasize the now. We discussed how being the past or future is a limited vision (avidya), and that it gives the illusion of being in control (a product of asmita). We did our best to practice staying in the now, and noticing spaciousness within and that it feels like love.

Our primary tool was willingness, and we drew inspiration from Erich Schiffman's definition of Love, and Ravi's comment that 'seeing clearly is the key ingredient in Love'.
