Gentleness

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

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

Learn to be gentle with others and learn to be gentle with yourself. Violent people are violent because they are not at peace with themselves. So be gentle with yourself. Then you will be able to express gentleness in mind, action, and speech. It will come spontaneously.

- Swami Rama

The reflection from the quote is to start cultivating gentleness in mind first. Catch yourself the moment you start to belittle yourself or when you find yourself being critical of yourself in a negative way. Work to turn this negative energy into gentleness for yourself.

Blessings,
