Who cares loses. . . .

Go to bbc i player and type in yoga. and listen to the whinging.....

Don't you get fed up listening to people ask 'what type of yoga do you do?'

There isn't any type of yoga, there isn't even any yoga.

If you can imagine going way back into the mists of time. One day someone was sitting around and had a back ache. This person twisted the spine and found it eased the pain, so this person did it over and over until the back pain went away. This same person met someone else that had a pain, but in another part of the body. The originator of the twist taught the other person to do a back-bend to ease the pain in the upper back. This went on and on until one day 100 years later somebody made a whole system out of it. Different people discovered different things over many years, as people tend to do, and so out of all of this we have now got a highly complex system and philosophy of yoga. Lovely.

Coming up to today we have (still) different people telling us that their way is the right way. Not only that but we have other people telling these (still different) people that they can get more people to do their style of yoga if they listen to them. Meanwhile the people that 'do' the different types of yoga have no idea what it is they are doing. All they probably know is that what they are doing is good, because everybody keeps telling them it is good. Plus it's nice to be sociable - which most of the mare not!

If you sit down and shut up. If you sit down and shut up and keep very still. If you sit down and shut up and keep very still and breathe in and out through your nose, you will be doing more for yourself than if you went to 1000 silly yoga classes with a teacher that knows nothing about yoga.

If you think I am talking rubbish try it for yourself.

Sit down - Keep quiet - Keep still - and breathe in and out of your nose for one hour.

Now you do not need a brand name or a type of yoga for this.

You do not need a guru or teacher to tell you what to do.

You just do it and deal with it. You have a mind to think. A body to feel. And breath to breathe.

What more do you need?

BUT - If you (think) you do need someone (still) to tell you what to do you must ask (you) what it is that (you) really don't know.

Once (you) know what it is that (you) don't know (you) can then ask the 'appropriate' person the right question.

It could save you allot of time!!

It seems to me that if we all were following our bliss. (William Blake). We would not be worried about what other people were doing - would we?

It could save you allot of time!!
