Finally, I am online at home again and therefore able to bring you a more exciting Yoga read than just events lists once again. Yoga practice gave me the patience to exist for 6 months without home internet, reliant upon library access, and hopefully some regular readers will still be around.
Over the next year or two, I hope to list some more personal Yoga-moments, dive into some of the texts from which Yoga stems as well as some modern literature on the subject, and detail a few more Asanas.
Patience is only one of the lessons learned from my join Buddhist-Yoga practice, which combine nicely in Tibetan Heart Yoga. It is also one of the gifts one gives in THY practice. Whilst focusing on giving gifts to others, I have noticed that these gifts tend to grow in oneself also.
Looking back into my childhood, I had very little patience at all. I was in fact rather impatient, demanding, stubborn, and uncaring. If I wanted something and did not have the means to obtain it right away, I would whine until somebody became so fed up of the noise and gave it to me.
Now, if I feel a desire for something, I tend to analyze it. It is usually a minor want that can be postponed, rather than a genuine need of current urgency. Realizing this, I can put it aside and either go without altogether or wait.
