I'm going to start by saying, I am practicing Compassion for myself because I've been so busy with new yoga ventures that I've been unable to write as much as I'd like to. I'm allowing life to flow and trying to not "control" so much the way that things happen.
Last week we touched upon Compassion being a nice "opposite" practice of self-judgment. How do you use Compassion in your life? Compassion come from the latin "Suffering With." I think it's easy for me to have compassion for others but when it comes to myself I struggle. Through my yoga practice I have learned that true compassion starts within. If we can forgive ourselves, it's easier to offer forgiveness to others. If we judge ourselves, it's so much easier to judge others. Right?
A few words about Control. This can come up frequently in our practice. We want to control our bodies to do things it can't do perhaps, or we want others to act the way we want them to. When things to don't out the way we set out for, we get disappointed or angry. How are some ways you can let go of control and let the universe provide?
Take a moment to reflect upon Judgment, Control, Compassion. What roles do these play in your life. Journal about this. Sip tea. Reflect.
Peace,
Natalie
