The Body’s Truth

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

This week in class we are considering the topic “Embodying The Spirit.”

The Body’s Truth

In the final analysis, we can control only ourselves. But we are often dismayed at our inability to master even this. What prevents us? When we feel out of control, it is usually because there is a conflict between what we think and what we feel. Our feelings may scream one thing while our minds demand something else. But our bodies, which are the storage units for our feelings, simply cannot lie. Whatever we feel in our bodies is our truth.

- Judith Lasater

The homework is to work to understand how to bridge the divide between what we think and what we feel and ultimately gain control over our lives. Consider how the practice of Yoga asana can help us in this experience? Finally, work to experience your own truth by paying more attention to your body.

Blessings,
