What Lies Beneath



I find it more and more essential to read between the lines.  Whether it's regarding a contract for a new job or a pain in the body it can be almost guaranteed that there is more to the story. The initial pitch for the job may sound exciting!  The small twinge at the origin of your hamstring may be a tiny whisper that comes and goes throughout your Yoga practice... Hmm.  It's not to say that all is wrong and that surely the new job will totally suck.  Same as the small whisper in your body, it may or may not be your hamstring slowly pulling away from the bone.  However, it is up to you to look deeper.  Practice svahdyaya, self-study and care enough about your personal well being to acknowledge the potential depth of all things.

I find this short video to be a modern example of the power of self study.

Truth




"Truth is stranger than fiction, but this is because fiction is obliged to stick to probability; truth is not." -Mark Twain
