Threshold

March 31, 2012

Good Morning,

We are wrapping up our exploration of fearlessness. We will re-visit this topic when we explore warriorship again later in the year.

Let your heart be known, to yourself and others. The world needs our fearlessness.

With the disciplines of yoga, meditation we’re working at bringing forth capabilities we already possess. Awareness is intrinsic. The more we sit and the more we practice yoga the more these qualities of mind come naturally. We’re able to meet our habitual tendencies (samskaras) straight on. Then we have a choice how to act.  Then our whole state of being begins to function more wholesomely. We begin to feel more buoyant and cheerful as a result of practice. We may experience a greater sense of well-being.  We feel a greater confidence in our ability to work with our situation and our relationships effectively. Having a strong posture and an open heart helps us. Having the courage to know our fear, we are fearless.

Explore/Practice/Apply

Put yourself at your edge today. Have a conversation you’ve been putting off, do something that the thought of doing makes you want to shy away. Say no or instead say yes. Find something that engages the edge. What is that threshold for you?
