Feel

Weaving the thread of the Yoga Sutra: Feel

How do you tdeal with your feelings, sensations and emotions?

Do you choose to ignore what you feel?
Do you prefer to distract yourself when there are uncomfortable thoughts or sensations?
Do you resist feeling?
Do you try to manipulate the world so that you are not exposed to any sensations, emotions or feelings that you do not like?
What would happen if we understood that our body, senses, mind, and emotions are all gifts enabling us to experience life in its complete richness? Would we be more likely to be open to feeling everything? Could an attitude of curiosity contribute to this openness?

Validate – being with what is

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Validate - being with what is

Make a conscious choice to acknowledge that your experience is valid

Recognize that the experience you are having is valid simply because it is happening to you. To validate is to make a conscious choice to acknowledge that your experience is valid, even if what you are experiencing is anxiety, fear, or happiness. You validate by acknowledging that you are unique and that you have something unique to offer to the world. What happens when you explore uncomfortable memories? Can it help you make peace with your past?

Are you a follower?

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Are you a follower?

Would you rather follow a teacher or a teaching?

Part of the learning process involves recognizing if the teacher is trustworthy and well-intentioned. The other part is testing the teaching to ensure that it is applicable and useful for us at the time. By paying attention to the teacher, their actions and the coherence between their actions and their words, we will probably learn some important lessons, some to be emulated and some as warnings as to what not to do.

Learning to learn

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.
