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?
