Wise words, Harjit (and Akkama) and an excellent outlook and
perspective to work with or cultivate. Oftentimes, we experience these
adverse situation within the body, depending on our nature, state of
being on any particular day or level of development. With the yogic
path, generally speaking, we work on the problems of the body, first,
and then work on the problems of the mind (reflection and meditation).
Each of us will react, and be challenged, in different ways to the same
provocation. I find, for myself, that doing Archer Pose (and then
whatever, after resting in Baby Pose) can create an alchemical change
with any pressure coming in from the outside (de-pressing on our being).
Additionally, and of late, I find the set for "Mental and Physical
Vitality" works through the gross blockages of the 1st through 3rd
chakras. It's a little work but you will emerge from the funk and the
cycle of pain quite well and into a potent Neutrality. When we're in the
heart, there is no "for, or against". We are in Neutral Mind also called
Yogic Mind, and from this place one can consider kissing another's feet,
or thanking them for the pain they have created for without it there may
not have been any new fruit born.
Bless Bless,
Dharam
