‘This is perhaps the most refined and wonderful aspect of the yoga tradition—that through our own body we learn to understand the universe.
We do this by slowing everything down, as if saying, “Wait a minute, we are going to look with fresh eyes and listen with opened ears and a renewed awareness in all of our senses at this mystery of life that is presenting itself through, within, and as the body.”
As we become more skilful in our yoga practice, we learn to perceive deeply without creating a “story” that we (and others) must believe to be true or false, good or bad, safe or unsafe. Eventually we do not buy into our story lines, nor do we become attached to their outcome.
We recognise that our own forms of perceptions are the gateway into the matrix that intimately connects us to everything else.’
~ Richard Freeman, The Mirror of Yoga
