Openness

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

This week in class we are considering the topic “Openness.”

The openness to Life Itself that we cultivate frees us from a great deal of conditioning and many inherent, and inherited, assumptions...Life is not about answers. It is about learning to live in the middle of complete uncertainty, and doing so gracefully.

- Swami Chetanananda

The homework is to catch yourself when you start asking “Why” questions and direct the energy that goes into creating answers into being present with whatever is going on in that moment. It may be helpful to say to yourself that you are asking why questions and immediately direct your attention to the breath and/or to just letting go of all thinking.

Blessings,
