Feeling Practice

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Feeling Practice What do you feel and how do you feel it? Are there any places in your body drawing your attention? Is it possible that resting your attention on some area causes a change in the sensations themselves? What happens when you remain curious to find out how a sensation is unfolding? Might it be possible that the whole point of the sensation or emotion is to highlight your ability to be conscious of it and to experience it directly, even when it is not what you would prefer? https://simple-yoga.org This content is inspired by the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali according to the book Unravel the Thread by Ruben Vasquez available at: Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737648202/ Alibris https://www.alibris.com/Unravel-the-Thread-Applying-the-ancient-wisdom-of-yoga-to-live-a-happy-life-Rub-n-V%C3%9Fsquez/book/50532904 Barnes and Noble https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/unravel-the-thread-rub-n-v-squez/1139928755 Indiebound https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781737648208 Thriftbooks https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/unravel-the-thread-applying-the-ancient-wisdom-of-yoga-to-live-a-happy-life_rubn-vsquez/29003752/ #yoga #simpleyoga #yogasimple #unravelthethread #yogasutra #patanjali #patanjaliyogasutra #presence yoga, yoga sutra,yoga philosophy, patanjali, awareness, consciousness, meditation, presence, memory, applied philosophy, yoga practice, pranayama, pratyahara, concentration, presence

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? https://simple-yoga.org This content is inspired by the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali according to the book Unravel the Thread by Ruben Vasquez available at: Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/1737648202/ Alibris https://www.alibris.com/Unravel-the-Thread-Applying-the-ancient-wisdom-of-yoga-to-live-a-happy-life-Rub-n-V%C3%9Fsquez/book/50532904 Barnes and Noble https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/unravel-the-thread-rub-n-v-squez/1139928755 Indiebound https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781737648208 Thriftbooks https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/unravel-the-thread-applying-the-ancient-wisdom-of-yoga-to-live-a-happy-life_rubn-vsquez/29003752/ #yoga #simpleyoga #yogasimple #unravelthethread #yogasutra #patanjali #patanjaliyogasutra #presence
