Why Do You Yoga? (Part I)
Happy is the person who knows how to distinguish
.
the real from the unreal,
.
the eternal from the transient,
.
and the good from the pleasant
.
by his discrimination and wisdom.
.
{Yogacharya Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja Iyengar}
.
.
Practise Yoga for the understanding, not for the asanas.

The Secret
... is that there is no secret.
.
.
.
Choose a positive thought.
.The conscious brain can only hold one thought at a time.
.
Thoughts affect not only the mind but the body also.

See You Soon
If something is hard, do not drop it.
It is an invitation to yourself.
You cannot protect yourself from yourself.

Smṛti
स्मृति
.
.
Continuous awareness of the present without judgment.
.
.
I often receive questions from friends, students and strangers. On being healthier. On being happier.
.
Almost everyone wants fast solutions. Quick fixes.
.
Yet most are ignoring the very instant answer they have.
.
To accept and to live the present moment.
.
Your mind is taxed with so many questions, you have no time to enjoy the answers that are right in front of you.
.
Your happiness, your health starts with this answer.
.
Be aware of now.
Be aware of now.
.
Be mindful.
.
Your past is gone. Your future is not yet here.
So what exist between them is the present moment.
.
The here, the now, the present that connects what was and what will be.
.
Your past was a series of present moments which brought you to this present moment.
.
Your future will be a series of present moments linked to this present moment in which you are now living, being, observing, aware or unaware of.
.
Mindfulness is being continuously aware of this very moment. And not judging, reflecting or thinking.
.
Each breath is replaced by the next breath.
.
Each present is followed by the next present.
.
This is your present (pun intended).
.
