Sweet Vinyasa: Hey! Lookie Here! Wednesday, June 4, 2014

One of the definitions of yoga from the Bhagavad Gita is "yoga is breaking the bonds of suffering". Suffering is easy to see and is the ordinary attachments of the mind. It takes practice, abhyasa, to reverse the usual ways of seeing to experience deeper Truths. We attempted to cultivate our divine eyes to see the beauty inside that is unchanging, always is and always was.

One of the ways we know we are not seeing clearly, according to the sages, is to take the imperament for the permanent. (I haven't been able to let this last lesson come though in the classroom yet).
