Greetings Yogis and
Yoginis,
This week in class
we will be exploring Pratyahara, the fifth limb of Yoga.
This is an important secret of life: if you
remain idle without doing something useful your mind thinks scattered and random
thoughts, and wastes its energy. Your
good thoughts should definitely be brought into action. A though is like an unripened fruit that is
not yet eaten by anyone. Ripening fruit
means bringing a positive thought into action.
She who is great, successful, creative, and dynamic knows how to bring
all her good and creative thoughts into action, and how to give a shape and
form to her creative thinking process.
- Swami Rama

The homework is to learn how your Yoga
practice can help you “give a shape and form to your creative thinking
process.” Consider how the 5th
and 6th limbs of Yoga, Pratyahara – refinement of the senses and
Dharana – concentration, can assist you in this process. Finally, bring one of your good thoughts into
action.
