A Small Yoga of Perfection

A small yoga of perfection: 

our practice itself becomes an awakening, not by means of achievement, but that we what do is seen in new light, more relaxed now with the grace of presence, and every action being perfect as it unfolds. This is yoga, all of it, from asana to meditation and whatever else take place through our attention. For me, this includes my morning writing, the whole ritual of readying myself for receiving words, and with even the feel of keyboards to my fingers a small yoga of perfection. 

it's a practice of awakening.

here, practice simply means to perform, it's what we give our attention to, an action that brings us deep joy through its repetition. Nothing is being sought by practice, awakening happens on its own, continuously so, and what we do now is only for the pleasure of its performance. This is spiritual practice, truly so, as it invokes our deepest essence to join in everything that we're presently doing, and nothing can be distinguished that isn't spirit. 

our every act being a small yoga of perfection. 

so, really, there's no valid debate on the cause of awakening, on if our practice takes us towards enlightenment, or if it leads our mind astray. What we do, everything, is a small yoga of perfection, an awakening completely on its own that simply calls for the pleasure of our attention. Give yourself to any practice that calls to you with joy, surrender any notion of progress, or even direction. 

it's all yoga.

every act being a small action of its own perfection.
