It matters not one iota if you're downward dog is the most perfect in all the world. If you dont have peace in you're head and your heart what is the point? I know that for many years I was looking and trying all sorts of things in order to find something. I didn't realise what I was looking for. Now I know, I was really looking for peace and contentment. It was right under my nose all the time, the breath.
I see people running around to this or that new class with all the gimmicks to keep them coming back. This is what I see and nothing is changing, people are just forming new addictions, new things to fix themselves with. Like I said this is how I see it and I have earned the right to say this. Just sit still and breathe, feel what it's like to be you, right now.
It is all designed to make us feel better isn't it and until we can get to a place inside ourselves when all of the yoga teachers are unemployed we are still 'needing' someone or something else to make 'us' feel better about ourselves. Why do we need that? What is it we dont have? What is it this other person has that we think we need?
The old saying goes: 'The truth is hard to bear'. What is that truth that is so hard to bear? My suffering, the ache in my back or my heart, this is the real truth, of now. Here and now is all there is and all there ever is. How do you feel about that?
I guess this is an extreme view but real just the same. It is my view and I am entitled to it on my web site. I know we all need help sometimes. If you have a problem with you're electricity call an electrician, or a plumber for the waterworks etc. But like I said above when it comes to matters of the mind and body you need to see what you're real problem is.
