Now, Yoga Begins

Now, yoga begins:

really, it's about watching the mind - my yoga has arrived at the central focus of ego and the Holy Spirit, mindful of my choice between the two, and then a gentle shift back whenever I find that I have strayed from a place of loving kindness. For me, this is the yoga of forgiveness. Even on the yoga mat I bring my mind to the posture at hand, releasing all judgement of the body that's performing the pose now, being aware of the nuances of mobility that every practice period offers. A yoga teacher recently gave me a marvelous translation of the first of Patanjali's yoga sutras:

atha yoga -anushasanam...

now, the teaching of yoga begins.

and indeed, as this teacher pointed out to me, this moment,  right now, is the beginning of yoga, an entrance into the same timeless realm that forgiveness leads us to, the gateway of eternity. Releasing myself from ego's judgement, relaxing into every posture that life delivers, yoga heals me, asking me to forgive all that preceded this moment, and focus only on what's present.

and this is where love ifs found.

now, 

the teaching of yoga truly begins.
