Yoga And Meditation…

“Meditation brings wisdom; lack of mediation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom”.
– Today’s yoga wisdom is from no other than the Buddha himself.

Back right-at-ya Buddha.

Feeling my body as a fuzzy wave form at my first Vipassna was pretty instrumental was pretty fundamental to my subsequent selection of yoga centres and study pathway.  Although I’ve never quite managed the recommended 2 hours of meditation per day to maintain the path to wisdom, Vipassna was a great teacher.

I can only say that there is great peace in meditation.  Some days, I need to get home and hit the cushion… it is so fundamental that seems better than couch, or alchohol, or exercise, or cooking or anything else.  I just need a good sit.

So while I love these other things, meditation is something I always manage to come back to.  Am I any wiser…?  Well… meditation is one practice where I feel completely free of the need to measure (and I am a measurement junkie). Reckon there’s somethin’ in that.

So what are you waiting for don’t just DO something — Sit!

Yours,

Restaurant reviewers find it easier to travel incognito, and so do I. I travel a lot for work and use this as an excuse check out yoga classes, yoga courses and yoga colleges around my home country, Australia. In this yoga blog, I refer to yoga centres in Sydney. I am not actually a yoga teacher, just a passionate yoga student.

I have practised yoga in the US and have done yoga courses in India but have no bias towards any yoga style. Actually, maybe I am biased to a yoga style, or at least certain methods of education applied in yoga courses, but I’ll leave it to you to find out what that is. My mission? I just want people to think a little deeper about yoga.
