Sutra 1:33

How does one keep clarity in the mind when it appears others want to harm?

To keep a peaceful mind, practice friendliness towards those who are happy, compassion towards the unhappy, joy towards the virtuous, and disinterest toward the non-virtuous.

The Daring of Having No Enemies. “It’s more daring and real not to shut anyone out of our hearts and not to make the other into an enemy”. This may be one of the hardest pieces of dharma to live right now, but so essential. Aggression to the other is exhausting, divides us and leaves us splattered on the sidewalk convinced once again of our separateness. No solutions and no right-action can be taken from this place.

Level 2-3 vinyasa flow class. Shoulder opening emphasis. Sun salutes, standing poses, shoulder opening, head-stand, back-bends, dwi pada viparita dandasana.

Only Love is Real. What can be destroyed is not real. Let’s loosen the grip on all things that seem real, just for this moment on this mat. We practice non-attachment, allowing the world to move thru us without letting it stick to us, thru this practice of non-attachment we find freedom from suffering and are able to better weather the consistent shifting of personal and worldly circumstances.

Level 2-3 vinyasa flow class, standing poses, handstand, shoulder-openers, back-bending.

Friendliness is your daily practice.

Maitreya is friendliness in sanskrit. How do we approach our life so we release our own aggression and feel at ease in our life and change the way any situation unfolds when we practice this principle.

Wake up to Love.

The doer, the list-maker, the well managed life and ego that is working so hard to hold the world up often misses the Love that is right in front of us.
