Seeing Beauty Everywhere

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

This week in class we are considering the topic “Seeing Beauty Everywhere.”

Yoga teaches that beauty is everywhere if one can learn to see it, and that complete concentration upon a beautiful thought, scene or object will result in relaxation of the mind and achievement of tranquility.

- Nancy Phelan and Michael Volin

The homework is to experiment with completely concentrating on a beautiful thought, scene or object. Sit in Sukasana supporting the thighs well and breathe normally for a few minutes and then bring into your minds eye the image. If the mind wanders from the image bring it back without judgment. Practice this for 15 minutes a day over a period of time and observe the results.

Blessings,
