No reason to get angry at anybody for slapping you literally or figuratively. It's just nature unfolding perfectly and obviously that slap is part of my process that is shaping me as I become all I'm becoming. I'm sure this understanding will be a big help to us in our yoga practice and also as a teacher.

Exactly like everything around us, we are made of the same elements of this earth and are totally dependent on this earth for our sustenance.

If all is happening perfectly then all that we are feeling is also perfect, which means if there is something happening that feels like it needs to be changed, then change it.

Enlightenment is higher states of awareness.

We are so busy and have become so complex, being simple is actually esoteric.
