Entries From the Sutras
To prepare for the weekend I decided to give you some more food for thought from The Secret Power of Yoga by Nischala Joy Devi, which is a feminine interpretation of the ancient Sutras and one of my new favorite books on yoga philosophy.
Sometimes it’s easy to get lost in the day-to-day activities, responsibilities, emotional highs and lows of life and forget how to just be. I hope the following Sutras will serve as inspiration to help you get back to a calm place if you’re feeling stressed.
Note: I chose to only put some of the Sutras from the chapter in and isn’t the entire section in the book.
“To preserve openness of heart and calmness of mind, nurture these attitudes:
Kindness to those who are happy
Compassion for those who are less fortunate
Honor for those whose embody noble qualities
Equanimity to those whose actions oppose your values.
Or engage the focus on an inspiring object.
Or reflect on a peaceful feeling from an experience, a dream, or deep sleep.
Or dedicate yourself to anything that elevates and embraces your heart.”
Have a beautiful weekend.
