Thoughts from the Path

Thoughts from the Path
Present Wholeness Yoga
June 2016

We have, and are exposed to, thoughts all the time. It is the nature of the mind to create and sort thinking. It is constant, except in dreamless sleep. An analogy might be that of the Pin Ball Machine where the ball, or balls, are constantly bumping into things on the board with lights flashing and lots of sounds announcing points scored, or not.

But the practice of yoga asks that we pull back from all the distractions and inquire as to what is really here. Present moment awareness. And then allowing that awareness to clarify what action it is for us to take in the world. It is an endeavor of focusing on subtleties versus the gross. It is also an aware balance between contents and context, two dimensional map and three dimensional territory, left brain analytic and right brain wholistic thinking.

I invite you to consider the below thoughts from other writers and teachers and then take your found wisdom from them out into the world and share it with others. We grow the planet, humankind, one thought at a time.
