Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Learning to learn

The essence of learning is tolerable discomfort.

All learning will, by definition, help us transcend our current views and understanding, and thus, in the process we are going to feel uncomfortable. The better we are at managing this discomfort the more effective our learning and the more likely it is that we will continue learning for the rest of our lives.

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: What do I know?

Is it possible that what you know leads you to a sense of unity and integration?

What do I know? How do I know what I know? Is what I know the result of my direct experience? Is it possible that my knowledge is colored by one of the five afflictions, my sense of identity, my likes, my dislikes, and my desire to keep my identity alive?

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Pause and relax

Pausing is a way of creating space for presence

Pause to redirect your attention to your senses. Connect to the direct experience of the present moment by feeling what is happening. As you pause and feel, notice if there is any tension or resistance. Then RELAX. How often do you take time just to be? Does your experience change when you pause, feel and relax? Is your perspective slightly different?

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Best friend or worst enemy?

Are you helping or hindering yourself?

When you are making choices, would it be useful to pause briefly and ask yourself: "At this moment, am I being my best friend or my worst enemy?" What evidence do you have of being a true friend to yourself? Are your choices and actions supporting your heartfelt intentions and purpose?

Weaving the thread of the Yoga Sutra: What is my true nature?

Yoga is exploring who you are through posture, breath, thinking and feeling

What happens when you are relaxed? Are there ways of being distracting you from just being with what is? If there are ways of being that can be turned on and off, are they essential? What is left when those ways of being are turned off? Does that even happen, ever? Where are all those ways of being manifesting?

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Who do you think you are?

Reflection on your identity

How do you describe yourself? What do you identify with? To what extent do your labels define you or influence what you think you can and cannot do? Are these labels at your service or are you at the service of these labels?

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Attitude and curiosity

What do you discover when you examine your attitude?

What influences your attitude? How well can you modulate your attitude?
What ignites your curiosity? It is essential that you make your own choices instead of letting others decide things for you.
