Heatwave

Yes. Dangerous heat here in Phoenix. 110 today. 113 tomorrow. When it's that hot, that bright, you either say "yeah baby! Bring it on!" and go bask in it, run around in it, or just be in it, or you hide inside a dark cool room like a mole.

That what yoga/life is all about- training for us to be able to handle our own light, our own heat. So, do we run from the light within or do we run into it?

And it's a bit more than the phrase "get out of the kitchen if you can't stand the heat." if we are the kitchen, if we are the heat, where do we go? Somewhere outside of our Self, somewhere that's not in alignment with our essential nature. Result? Not hot, ok, but kinda uninspiring and possibly a yukky state of tepid, beige, flaccid.
