Question 13

Tapas

Answer 13

mean cultivating a sense of self-discipline, passion and courage in order to burn away ‘impurities’ burning’ away the negative thought patterns and habits we often fall in to.
cultivate understanding and humility. Realising that it does take time to get into a more ‘advanced’ version of a pose doesn’t have to be discouraging at all; having the discipline to practise consistently and the humility to admit when we’re not perfect are both essential to reaping the rewards that ‘discipline’ has to offer.
in life; Having the courage NOT to listen to the voices in our head that tell us we’re ‘not strong enough’ or ‘not good enough’ to attempt a more demanding pose or go for that new job opportunity is also an element of Tapas that ‘burns’ away those ‘impure’ thoughts, and leads to more self trust and inner strength.

Question 14

Ahimsa

Answer 14

non-harming’. (‘Himsa’ = ‘hurt’ and ‘a’ = ‘not’) non-violence in all aspects of life. being mindful of our thoughts. When we act with ‘Ahimsa’ in mind, this means not physically harming ourselves,others, or nature; not by thoughts,words or actions; and making sure that what we do and how we do it is done in harmony, rather than harm.
to don’t push ourselves over the edge; of course we challenge ourselves in order to grow, leaning in to that sometimes scary edge, but never pushing ourselves to the point of harm.
body is a pathway to freedom, not a road-block!

Lao tzo on thoughts

Answer 15

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habit. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”

Question 16

Sat Ya

Answer 16

Sat:something that is unchanged (make us aware that much of our experience of life is brought about by paying more attention to that which changes, rather than the unchanging truth) and pure. not actually seeing the truth or reality in any of our life situations…. When we react instantly to situations on a purely primitive and emotional level, we’re often not seeing the truth and are acting from a place of fear and conditioning. Learning and accepting that all emotions and situations come and go and are in fact not unchangeable or true, helps us come to terms with the fact that life isn’t as complicated as it might seem sometimes….
In Matt : it’s this dishonesty with ourselves that can often cause physical pain…. When we can get the ego-mind out of the way (you know, the one that tells us we should be able to do headstand, or we should be able to meditate without getting distracted….) this offers us a way to see past our conditioned, un-true ways of thinking, and uncover a more pure and beneficial way of practising and treating ourselves on all levels.

Nichi Green says “The breath is the boss”.

Our practice grows as we grow, and going to the edge of our asana practice is all about being honest with ourselves in every moment.
