Taking the cue from the previous topic, I would like to share what I found in the Yoga Journals that was pinpoint perfect, which also happens to be the insight of my own practice.
It says that approaching our practice with thoughtful intention is one way to receive the benefits of yoga that go beyond the physical. Its identified as part of what separate yoga from pure exercise. It is also a way to practice being more conscious and aware of our actions - a lesson we can take beyond our mats.
When we start to set an intention, it starts to unravel why we practice. When you have identified why you do what you do, you can emphasize and take ample care as to how you do what you do. Consecutively you can move on to bringing considered understanding and focus to every action you take.
Let us cultivate this 4 states of mind in setting our most honest intentions ;
Lovingkindness - METTA
Compassion - KARUNA
Joy - MUDITA
Equanimity - UPEKKHA
Namaste,
Azmi
