Anusara Yoga, founded by John Friend, is a unique approach to hatha yoga in which the spirit of the HEART powerfully blends with the precision of biomechanical ALIGNMENT and balanced energetic ACTION in the performance of asanas (yoga postures). The word "anusara" originates from a line in the Tantric text called the Kularnava Tantra, "shaktipata-anusarena shishyonugraham arhati." Anusara literally means to be in the flow, in the current of the Divine, flowing with Grace. The philosophical basis of Anusara, as elucidated by Dr. Douglas Brooks, is called Rajanaka Yoga. |

| THE SILENCE OF YOUR HEART
This month, a very useful amendment*
toward accessing your inherent CONFIDENCE:
1. SLOW DOWN. 2. LISTEN [stop talking, stop being angry with yourself, stop punishing and doubting yourself and others]. *2A. NOTICE THE THOUGHT(S)
obstructing your ability to listen and be comfortable in silence.
It is only when you're silently listening that you can 3. ALLOW YOUR HEART TO SPEAK.
How? Inhale the obstructing thought(s) downward, into your heart.
Literally download the thought(s), one at a time, right into the space between your actual heart and your solar plexus. There in your heart, thoughts lessen in intensity and dissipate.
Your entire body exists momentarily in silence.
In that silence you may hear
the real voice of your heart.
More on the wonders of the heart in the coming months.
with gratitude,
elena, lynn and the virayoga staff
