Yoga practice seems to be used to access some deeper dimension or some enlightened state. Understand right now there is no connection between flexibility and enlightenment.

Fall with awareness and acceptance.

This is what our yoga practice is trying to accomplish. Not white light descending from heaven and engulfing you, not energy released from the base of your spine going up through your crown chakra so you become a human lightening bolt, not a halo floating on top of your head. Simply heightened states of awareness, enlightenment, becoming more and more aware which gives more and more insight, which brings wisdom and gives choice. With that wisdom and choice, we become the masters of our destiny and at peace in our life.

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.

We all know what the moon does to the ocean in the form of tides. Well, we are about 85% salt water; don't you think it is also affecting you? Maybe you cannot quantify that effect along with zillions of other effects, but certainly you are being affected.

When you're experiencing what's happening right now, all of a sudden everything that happened to you in your entire life melts away.

Everything is unfolding perfectly. As this perfection unfolds, I learn and grow and become all I'm becoming.
