VIRAYOGINS

in addition to separating your attention

[the practice of taking momentary inner "snapshots"
of your inner state + your outer experience,
thereby manifesting the pause between
any experience and your internal reaction],

we have another route toward ease.

in your practice of yoga,
when you remember to employ the
Anusara Principles of Alignment
toward a more precise arrangement
of your muscles, tissues and bones,
your precision will yield a profound expansion.

that expansion is experienced inwardly;
your breathing deepens and your eyes soften,
signs that your organs have just received
more nourishment and space.

here's the important bit.

in every interaction,
in every moment,
you have the opportunity to
pause, be more patient and remember to align,

to notice the big picture
and then offer yourself more accurately
in the details
[your pose, your word, your glance, or your gesture],
revealing the opening inherent in that moment.

artist Agnes Martin
provides a shining example of this law:

every precise offering
reveals a quality of spaciousness.

with great gratitude,
