"Practice means to perform over and over again, in the face of all obstacles, some act of faith, of vision, of desire." Martha Graham
"The desire for freedom provides the motivation to undertake the arduous discipline of yoga. Yoga refers both to a process of discipline and its goal." Barbara Stoler Miller
"Think of discipline as the pathway of your spirit's/ Devotion, a priming of the ground of your essence,/ A daily, weekly, lifelong investigation and dedication/ Into the truth of your own soul's liberation." Denise Benitez
"It's the intensity of the longing for change that does the work. Strong aspiration not only motivates us to act, it also attracts help." Sally Kempton from Change for Good
Intention is the backbone of our practice
It adds sincerity and depth
Tapas- fire, burning enthusiasm
Resolve to make the most of this time
Golden thread meditation
Breathe up and down it
Circle slowly around it
Let your intuition guide you to a deep intention
Gather yourself around your intention
Your practice supports your intention
Today- Mary Oliver
Varanasi- Mary Oliver
Imagine a little fire- sincerity in your heart and keep it w you
