“The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.” ― Paulo Coelho  Ever heard of that "patience" quote and how it is often held as a high virtue? Do you realize patience can be honed, just like any other skill?
Discouragement, frustration and ultimately anger are results of a well-meaning battle that we lose with patience. Some of us are less equipped with this necessary virtue than others; short temper, exasperation, and inappropriate behavior are results of... and we have all faced these emotions and a stress output due to patience-less status. Practicing patience on and off the mat is a large part of the Yogic philosophy. Patience balances the mind and body allowing the individual to wade through situations and challenges. Our ability to demonstrate patience is tied to our emotional and mental state of mind. Something which can be explored through the flow of your yoga practice. The transitions from one asana [pose] to another is just as important as holding and striking a pose. The awareness between asanas builds consciousness for the moment and honors its existence. Learning to take life as it flows, minute to minute is one the greatest takeaways from a yoga practice. Breathing, while holding a pose determines resilience and hardiness applicable to incidents in life that require as much flexibility, twists and turns as that yoga pose we grapple to hold. Stability, be it in life or on the mat comes with patience, something which the quaintest of poses can teach you. Poses like Vrksasana (Tree Pose) develop grounding principles even in adverse situations, like a tree in the midst of a windstorm. Your breathing and determination to stay upright and not wobble teaches you patience like no other pose. Warrior-One (Virabhadrasana) demands strength of the body and mind, resilience and flexibility. A test for the senses, the stretch could burn, and expose you to face and overcome mental conflicts. Savasana's (Corpse pose) slow breathwork puts your mind and body in silence and entering a state of Yoga Nidra requires you to be patient with every single aspect of your being. Only with great love and acceptance does a person enter a state of deep relaxation. MENTORSHIP WITH VICYASA™...
