When the Meditator Becomes the Meditation Cushion


The fullness of the summer full moon, the moon of the weighty ones, the teachers of our teachers and our own and those yet to come. What is more human than a curiosity to learn and to share learning?
always there, we just have to remember it is there to see and to recognize it when we do. The first is just Anusara’s “first principle”–opening to grace. The second is practicing and studying with increasing depth and refinement (viveka) so that we can recognize the light and know how to bring it into our lives.
I think a lot about what leads people to get injured on and off the mat. Often it is that desire for a certain goal or distraction keep us from the sensitivity and mindfulness that enables us to appreciate and act on the principles of cause and effect before the injury or accident occurs. One of the great benefits of a steady practice of yoga and meditation is that it can help us be more sensitive and aware of where and how we and all the things around us relate in space and time, the critical awareness for preventing injuries in the first instance.
