Yoga & Your Desires
“Enormous possibilities for health and creativity are held captive by your likes and dislikes. Inspecting your desires and attachments to food and making choices intuitively with discrimination will make your spiritual practice and every other relationship more rewarding. ”
– Yoga wisdom from Leonard Perlmutter
Now here is a man who is in touch with his mind, and unafraid to examine those desires and aversions as they float by.
As I travelled to Melbourne this week, this yoga quote reminded me of the consciousness-confronting spectacle of the hotel mini bar fridge. Chips or chocolate? There simply is no way to make a choice that is good for you if you are starving, and have spent the last 12 hours in intense conversation with colleagues, and are completely out of balance. I understand why the waking wish of many women all over the planet is not so much “let me lose weight”, or “let me have great skin” but “give me more balance today”. When life is in balance other things fall in to line. May yoga help us find balance.
BTW – if anyone can recommend a good yoga centre in South Melbourne let me know!
