The Scales of Yoga

Two essential aspects of yoga act like scales, providing a framework upon which the rest of yoga's principles are balanced. To provide a platform upon which to achieve mastery over matter, by gaining mastery over our selves. When we do that, we are in a state of union, yoga, with our Self. 

On One Side: Abhyasa

The aim of yoga is mastery over the mind. How? Through diligent practice, combined with sustained effort, done consistently over time, with a good attitude, produces mastery. This is abhyasa.

On the Other Side: Vairagya

Being able to rise above the changing nature of our physical reality (the gunas - nature's building blocks) while remaining neutral and unaffected by the results. This is vairagya.

How can you apply this in your life? Think of an "opportunity for growth," maybe a relationship or finances, health, a situation at work, or let's say you want to learn to play a musical instrument. 

What do you do? You research schools and instructors, sign up for lessons, make time to practice, and eventually a certain degree of mastery takes places (abhyasa).

Some days you sound great, other day's, not so much. Your self-worth is not based on how well you played that day. There is no coloring (kleshas), no clinging, attachment or aversion present (vairagya).

Apply the scales of yoga by creating sustainable practices and remain neutral to the results. Over time, yoga happens when you connect with your true nature. En-Joy the ride. :)

Namaste,

Debbie
