The state called yoga is a slowing of the fluctuations of
the mind, and is the first thing discussed in the traditional practice, a
holistic program for mental health that considers the close relationship
between the senses, mind and heart. What we allow entrance to our mind through
our senses creates desires, restlessness and often unfulfilled desires that create
the mind’s activity of preference, clinging or aversion, derailing us from our
true purpose and goals, and robing us of the precious space in our hearts needed
to interact with life with authentic kindness.
When the space in our heart is free
our mind is free and when our heart is closed, our mind is left vulnerable to unhealthy
distraction and actions that create a ripple of karmic action through our lives
and the lives of those around us.
Notice that spontaneous kindness emerges in the act of letting go of your personal desires. Today, choose to be authentically kind, notice how it feels and the effect you can produce with your conscious act of letting go of yourself for a moment.
At ChayaVeda we teach the science of breath and practice breathing exercises that are calming, purifying and nourishing to our minds and
hearts and contribute spontaneous kindness making the world a healthier and
happier place.
