Noble WF Online Student Harry "L" Lewis...a very, very 'ripe' student who is pacing himself on this Steep and Direct Path with a beautiful sense of Challenge and Nurturing. Over at DIRECT LINES is an actual training exchange between himself and i in regard to an important aspect of yoga and meditation...here is a sample for you:
STUDENT L:
The edge needs to be pushed by the ego and body being in sync. If the ego goes on the other side and tries to "pull" the edge further out than the body is capable of attaining at that moment, injury may occur.
COACH:
go(o)d...
consider, in your upcoming months of Practice,
a gradual dismantling of the ego entirely until there is no longer any sort of "push" or "pull"...
only a wonderful and ever deepening sense of 'merging into' the edge.
the yogin attempts to blur all edges until he becomes an Edgeless Warrior; able to merge into any posture; be it a physical one or - better yet - metaphysical ones; emotional, mental, spiritual.
namaste,
coach ilg
