It's wondrous what happens.
And there is gold, I think, in this strange time.
Perhaps there are gifts.
Gold nuggets for us. If we help.
There is a very strong appeal
Now the species or a species now
must be thought of each. A common destiny
ci have qui. We knew. But not too well.
Or all of them or none.Nine March duemilaventi, Mariangela Gualtieri
The time to stop was to arrive, for all *, to understand that being together, this being all.
A few days ago Rocco Ronchi, always on double zero, he wrote “With the objective force trauma, the virus shows that the whole is always involved in the, that 'everything is in some way around’ and that there are no empire nature of the autonomous regions that make exception.”. This thought reminded me of the prayer that is in Upaniṣad, known in the form of mantra
Om pūrṇam adaḥ, I executed pūrṇa, pūrṇāt Muzzle udacyate |
pūrṇasya muzzle muzzle aday evāvaśiṣyate ||
which more or less it invokes the same kind of commonality: “that's all, and this well is the All. Since only the Everything stems from the Whole and although the Everything is subtracted from the Everything, here, what remains is the Whole.”
So perhaps now we have a chance to really experience the practice of Yoga, away from Shala, from the comfort of the space formed for us, from the teacher's guide. So perhaps today we have the chance to experience if the practice is rooted in us in some way, any way. Whether it's the wait for coffee on one foot, it is the practice of śanmukhi mudrā when the head is full, it is the making soup in the crock pot, with patience and with love.
Really perhaps it does not matter thing, matter the come. The attitude with which we do things. In these days “suspended” more than ever.
How many times have we repeated lesson? How many times have we tried to overturn the physical practice to try to transpose it in the attitude a fare. This is also the meaning of work with Silvia Patrick on the text of Yogasutra: we see our habits? We try to change them. At least now we can not say that we do not have time.
Then, of course, some stretch, some torsioncina, some elongation… unroll the mat from a single home is difficult *, vero? But what we are talking about carpet?
We explore new “floor mats”, new ways to live the practice, to transform it and let ourselves be transformed. Understanding the meaning of what is experienced in recent months, years, and give it a new shape. We were lucky and fortunate over the years, we obtained a space for us to feed ourselves. And now that those experiences and those teachings find their way to the sun, how many times have we said during the practice of Sankalpa Year-end, remember?
Yoga is a lightweight luggage for traveling, let us not be discouraged. We trained and prepared for years for this moment forced distance, of silence. By listening and waiting.
Let's bring in what we have carefully cultivated.
