Greetings Yogis and Yoginis,
This week in class we are considering our divided nature and how the practices of Yoga can help us move towards oneness.
Like a ball batted back and forth, a human being is batted by two forces within.
-Yogabindu Upanishad
As human beings we have a divided nature - partly physical, but essentially spiritual. We are constantly batted by two conflicting forces. One force is the fierce downward thrust of our past conditioning as separate, self-oriented, physical creatures. Yet built into our very nature is an inner drive that will not let us be satisfied with a life governed only by biological laws. Some inner evolutionary imperative is constantly exhorting us to grow, to reach for the highest that we can conceive.
Words to Live By: Inspiration for Every Day – Eknath Easwaran
The homework is to learn how your Yoga practices help you move from the physical plane to the spiritual plane. Ask yourself how you use your body to move towards a state of oneness.
Blessings,
paul cheek
