ahimsa

Ahimsa
means non-violence
and is one of the ten
suggestions in yoga.

five are things to cool it on
and five are things to cultivate
(see contentment, santosha, earlier posting)

non violence
is yoga
is pretty easy to realize
and often forgotten:
let's not hurt ourselves
let's not confuse learning to move
and to be in our bodies
and to find the spiritual essence of a posture
with this weird idea that if it
isn't painful we aren't getting
anything out of it

and in teaching yoga
ahimsa
is to be kind
to all the students
what can they do
that they will enjoy
in this class
what can we all do
that they will learn
what can we not do
that they will have a chance
to be silent
and connected to all
that beauty that comes
in the stillness


ah

The Glories of Life and Being You

WHAT DO YOU LIKE IN LIFE?
What do you enjoy?

What are you grateful for?

What do you wish you could improve?

What is fun, and how could you have more fun?

What is really important?

What do you love about yourself?

What do you love about some other people?

What do you love about
animals, plants, streams, parts of nature?

What would you love to learn?

What are you enjoying learning?

If you look through the essays in here, I hope you can find lots of food for pondering and healing.

If you want the physical and brain work of WakeUp Feldenkrais, please take advantage of that site, too.

(The Feldenkrais Guild has a superb new website at Feldenkrais.com.)

For fitness, health and food possibilities the Tai Chi Yoga Health Weight Loss blog is a possibility.

Enjoy.
