Yoga Sutra 1.34 Focus on exhalations and breath retentions
Your breath as a focal point
Tuning into your breathing patterns as a direct portal to presence. Invite your attention inwardly and establish an intimate connection with your respiratory processes. Are there differences between the qualities of your breath when you regulate it and when your body breathes naturally? What happens at the intersections between each in-breath and out-breath?
Yoga Sutra 1.33 Friendliness, Compassion, Inspiration & Equanimity
How do you counteract your biases and prejudices?
Harmonizing single pointed focus with attitudes of moderation. What do you feel for people who are happy? How do you feel about people who are suffering? How do you respond when you notice someone being virtuous? What do you do in the face of reproachable actions? How do your opinions influence your body and emotions?
Yoga Sutra 1.32 Single pointed focus
What is important enough to deserve your undivided attention?
What do you invest your energy, time and resources in? Do you suspect that that other times and places are more important than the place you are in right now? What is the source of your distractions? What is really lasting?
Yoga Sutra 1.31: Symptoms of distractions and obstacles
Distress, despair, suffering, trembling, abruptness breathing. Are you content?
Symptoms of distractions manifest physically, mentally and emotionally. They are feedback to your previous actions and may suggest changes to enhance the quality of your participation in your life. Is there physical, mental or emotional dis-ease? Is your breath steady and continuous, or labored?
