Sattwa

Sattwa- the state of illumined balance. You can do anything from that place. Even have the most wacked out day, yoga class, hairdo.

Tonight in class, after the opening mini-mediation, most were ready to sit still for awhile. A long while. Instead, we did asana. As we moved from pose to pose, awareness of energy and subtler forces became the most interesting aspect. Then we used that energy from a sattwic place in handstands. Yes, a good time was had by all. And even this wacked out yoga class, if you compare it to what one might expect in a level 2-3, left even me, surprised in a good way. There is no judgement when in sattwa- just acceptance and a very large and illumined point of view. Aum.
