Yogic Wisdom

"A practice I have been enjoying for some months now is to “make peace with the present moment”. That means that when thoughts arise followed by thoughts of judgment I tell myself that the whole process is part of my practice: the original thoughts and the secondary or following thoughts as well. I do this by saying to myself, “how human of me to have a thought of X”. This helps so much when I look at the behavior of others as well.

When I say silently to myself, “How human of him to act/react with anger or fear or disappointment” then there is a space for compassion to arise in me. And I like how that feels. Then I am at peace with the present moment.

Judith Hanson Lasater - from: http://www.judithlasater.com/writings/ 'Recent Thoughts'
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.
