Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,
This week in class we are considering the topic “Embracing Life.”
You must learn to welcome consciously the most unexpected events of life, to be entirely transparent in front of them, without any motive, either right or wrong. At that moment avoid all judgment, for you do not know what law is in operation.
- Lizelle Reymond
The homework is to determine how to use your Yoga practice to prepare yourself for unexpected events. The Yoga philosophy encourages us to develop Vairagya or renunciation and detachment. Detachment requires total engagement and it does not mean you are uninterested. It involves freedom from passion, abstention and discrimination. Vairagya demands four qualities: disengaging and controlling the senses, carrying out one’s duties without thought of reward and acting with goodness and purity, avoiding desire and stilling the mind, freeing oneself from cravings.
Blessings,
