If you are serious about yogic practise, you will eventually have to concede that it is not what you 'do' but 'how' you do whatever it is you do.
Feeling dissatisfied and uncomfortable is good from the point of view of looking into the reason why you are feeling dissatisfied and uncomfortable. The usual option is to 'fix' any feelings that we do not like or approve of in some way by 'acting out'. But if you start to breathe instead it may allow you the opportunity to realise that there is nothing to 'fix'. This is a blessed relief because it is the start of realising that you are ok the way you are. How 'should' you be? Is there some way that you are being now that is not ok? If not why not?
Being ok at not being ok is an interesting position to take. In this case you can be tense and be ok about it. Why do you think that there should never be any feelings that make you uncomfortable?
Anaesthetising our self against feeling is death for the body/mind life-streams. It is numbing out and loss of feeling attitudinal leading to non-feeling and neurotic/compulsive behaviour. Phew!
Do you agree with any of this? Are you happy with your life? What are you doing? And why?
And . . . . . . . . . .
Ommmmmmmmmmm Shanti .
