Greetings!
Here we are in August! At this time of the summer, we may hear ourselves say "the summer is flying by". And with this comes a sense of wanting to hold onto, or slow time down. There can also be a sense of "leaning forward" (into the future). Sage Patanjali mentions these "troublesome" mind states in the Yoga Sutras.
How can we savor the seasons of our lives?
In Stephen Cope's book "The Wisdom of Yoga", he explains the difference between "craving" and "savoring". In savoring, we experience a peaceful happiness. There is a different relationship with time. There is no pressure for more.
"The life of the spirit requires less and less; time is ample and its passage sweet."
-Annie Dillard, "The Writing Life"
As we explore our body and breath on and off the mat, may we continue to learn how to savor the moment-to-moment experiences of our lives.
And, if contemplating the Sutras feels a bit too heavy for a warm day in August, how about some inspiration from another enlightened being?
"The sun was so delightfully warm, and the stone, which had been sitting in it for a long time, was so warm, too, that Pooh had almost decided to go on being Pooh in the middle of the stream for the rest of the morning."
- The House at Pooh Corner
