We are Our Own Remedy

Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,

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

We are Our Own Remedy

Many people are unwilling to make progress on the spiritual journey because they do not want to face their desires or their fears. This is understandable. Nevertheless, if we could see how our demanding desires and blind fears, especially our fears of fear, are often the source of our sufferings, might we not take pause and reflect? This is the ironic nature of spiritual realization. As we progress spiritually, we begin to see how we, ourselves are the primary and ultimate cause of our own sorrows. Paradoxically, this is good news! It means that we can also be the cause of our relief, our release, and our happiness.

- Ron Leifer

The homework is to evaluate how you are getting in your own way on your path towards making progress on your spiritual journey. Determine how the discipline you bring to your Yoga practice can be built upon to help you progress. Consider as well what practices you can deepen that will support you in making progress.

Blessings,
