Sunday
Conference with Diana
June 15, 2014
Review of past conferences and “…the thread ~ the mala
1. Guruji’s
quote: “practice, practice, practice …
all is coming.”
2. Refinement
– 3-point practice – hands/feet/bandhas ~ all engaged
3. Strength
and grace (sthira bhaga)
4. Tristana
– breath, drishti, bandhas . In our
daily practice, be mindful to move toward strength, grace and focus
5. The
element of water – fluidity (“control” your movement around challenges/hurdles)
Our
practice is vinyasa-based. Thread each
bead with each breath.
Elements: “fire” – heat; “earth” – grounding; “water” –
fluidity (adaptability to change with grace; to move “around” the “rock/the
challenge.”
The
visual is the “mala,” the thread is the “breath,” and the beads are the asana
and vinyasa.
TENACITY
– your inner strength
Storytelling: Diana’s
papa, Howard. Never giving up;
determined; humble with strength …
The
“gifts” for you in your practice is to just show up on your mat ~ with
consistency, discipline and commitment.
Your own practice ~ your own spiritual growth ~ remain present
Homework
What
“piece” of your practice challenges you?
Practice non-attachment ~ be present ~ move past it with fluidity and
equality. Keep in mind: “Easy to teach, difficult to practice…”
Weekly
Message
“Let me tell you the secret that had led me to my goal.
My strength is in my tenacity.”
