Joyful Abandon: Tonglen - Cont'd | mOGA yOGA

About this site

NYC-based yoga teacher | I'm here to awaken a new relationship in body, mind, heart and spirit: To remind. To inspire purification. To stave off hard hearts. To shine the torchlight of knowledge in all the dark corners that keep fear, delusion and inaction empowered. To welcome hearty and relevant debate. To break the norms. To question senseless and destructive habits. To elevate consciousness and keep ego to the ground, listening to the roots. To uplift the similarities which bring us together. To tear down the ignorance that keeps us pitted against one another. To hold a space for comfortable silence. To speak to the eternal part of you. To light up the individual to step into her and his role of highest good and purpose. To find the balance. To call a spade a spade. To share what's true and steady in the flow of change. To take advice and lend an ear. To praise the noble. To admit. To walk the walk down the road less traveled. To lead the way in full disclosure. To share the compass and help recalibrate yours. To outline the necessary boundaries, and transgress the ones that aren't. To hug when it's not expected. To love when it's not deserved. I'm here to Shake. It. Up. Where are you? also blogging at yogawords.tumblr.com

Joyful Abandon: Tonglen - Cont'd

As I wrote yesterday, tonglen is the act of inhaling suffering and exhaling loving-kindness, or bodhicitta. I know it is counterintuitive and it sounds spiritually suicidal but it works. By meeting hate and suffering with love, you will find a startling peace. Even if you want to get mad or…

Wow this is amazing….. True strength
