Greetings Yogis and
Yoginis,
This week in class
we will be exploring the impact of our energy on those around us.
If there is
righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is
beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony
in the home, there will be order in the nation. If there is order in the
nation, there will be peace in the world.
– Confucian
tradition
In a home where one
person can be patient and forgiving, even if the rest of the family does not
see eye to eye with him or her, they will share in a spiritual bonus. All of us
benefit by living with someone who does not live for himself or herself.
It is misleading to think that people who meditate are seeking only their own illumination. They are contributing to the removal of selfishness and separateness in the world.

Words to Live By:
Inspiration for Every Day – Eknath Easwaran
The homework is
to learn for yourself how your Yoga practice can contribute to the removal of selfishness and separateness in the
world. Use the observation skills you
develop in your Asana practice to notice the impact of your own energy on those
around you.
