Greetings Sadhakas,
This week in class
we are considering how our Yoga practices can move us move closer to the source
of all strength and all joy and all love.
Seek ye first the
kingdom of heaven, and all else shall be added unto you.
-The Gospel According to Saint Matthew
The mantram is one
of the best of prayers - one that we say not just when we get up or when we go
to bed, but countless times throughout the day, and throughout the night as
well. This prayer is not addressed to someone outside us, but to our deepest
Self, the Lord of Love, who dwells in the hearts of us all. When we repeat it,
we are not asking for anything in particular, like good health or solutions to
our problems or richer personal relationships. We are simply asking to get
closer to the source of all strength and all joy and all love. To use Jesus'
words, we are asking for "the kingdom of heaven," and we find at the same
time that our health improves, our problems begin to be resolved, and our
relationships blossom.
Words to Live By:

The homework is
to reflect on how your Yoga practices can help move you closer to the source of
all strength and all joy and all love.
