Practice

I would summarize my practice the following way :
Iyengar Yoga is adjusting and tuning the antenna.
Zazen is receiving the signal clearly despite interference.

The antenna is the body. The signal the sensations. The interference is stressful mental activity.

Yoga is union/connection as opposed to alienation/disconnection.

May you be peaceful.

I Beg You

I beg you…to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without ever noticing it, live your way into the answer…

-Rainer Maria Rilke
