‘You should rather be grateful for the weeds you have in your mind, because eventually they will enrich your practice.’

'Without accepting the fact that everything changes, we cannot find perfect composure'. 

The start of our yoga year is a good time to reflect on our practice and to ‘get back to basics’ or 'Shoshin' - beginners mind, in the Zen tradition.

The analogy of beginners mind is a way to help us in our approach - to look with fresh eyes, as though for the first time.

Reflecting this week, ‘Is there an area of my life that needs more attention’... or can I accept the way things are for now, trusting this too will pass... and balance will be restored. Resolving to either make a change or accepting it is what it is for now.
