Prayatna Shaithilya Ananta Samapattibhyam

Yoga Sutra 2.47


Relax the intensity of your effort and continue to meditate on the endless infinite energy within.  Why? Because all of this simply never ends.  If it was not the practice of asana and yoga, it would be something else and why not have it be something that is moving you towards liberation?

This sutra came up in class today and served many of us well as we patiently worked through some deep psoas and lunge sequences.  Often times we struggle with issues and situations in our lives with great angst.  Remembering that life is endless can help to let go of such petty anger and get back to savoring the journey with all its sweetness and nectar.

With so much gratitude,

Marie
