But you’re a yogi It’s true I practice and the benefits of my practice give me space to navigate through difficult situations The difficulties don’t actually go away I just have the choice of navigation, instead of being lost Do I get effected by your words, actions and even thoughts? Why, yes I do. Does it bring me to the brink of collapse. No, that I’ve learned. I’ve learned what is true, what my needs for safety are. That is my compass for this navigation When my heart hurts, I may lose my compass It must be buried deep in my back pack But then i find it again It shows me the way in The way back home You can’t do anything to me, no You can’t ruin me, no But make no mistake Your words, your actions, your thoughts Make an impact And when I stay with truth, I know I deeply know that we all need love ___________________ Sometimes I find it appropriate to express to someone their words or actions are making me uncomfortable. They’re response sometimes sounds like, “why do you let it effect you yogi?” Make no mistake, I am effected whether small or big. A lot of times, you won’t know because instead of telling you, I will go inside, do the work and find out how I’m relating to this moment and myself. If I feel safe with you, I may ask you to help me feel more comfortable. I will STILL do my own inner work. If you do not want to help. I can take “no” for an answer. And when you claim I’m a yogi and shouldn’t feel this way, I see your difficulty and my compassion for that. And if you say “yes, I can help you,” then I thank you. Nevertheless, the work still calls and so I do. Along the way, I will fuck up. I have difficulties too. This is a reflection of a few interactions I’ve had personally in my life. And it brings me to the following: Mr. President and all those that roll this way - ultimately it is the person who pulls the triggers choice, yes. But make no mistake, your words matter. Whether it amps those up to take action on hate or hurts those that are hated. Guns are impulsive. We humans move in and out of mind states. I’m not saying take full responsibility. I am saying, imagine what this world would be like if there was no war and no hate. Read on...
This week let’s focus making that u-turn. With our current climate of politics and our own lives, we can get caught in emotions that feel like they are the whole of us. They’re unpleasant feelings and so we run outside of ourselves to point the finger. Tonight, u-turn: what’s going on in here? What am I believing? “If when I die, if I suffer, that is all right, you know. No confusion in it… this is just suffering Buddha.” ~ Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki. Yin and yoga Nidra are the perfect practices to look at this plainly. These practices teach us to see what’s really here right now.
