Yeah I kinda drifted away from just sitting but have been constant with the yoga. Maybe I will take a wee trip back to the Centre in the Spring. Hope you are well.

I haven't stuck with yoga, but when I did it regularly for several years in a row I definitely got much more flexible. And now that I've stopped I'm getting <em>very</em> stiff!

Well, maybe a little. However, my mind is much calmer. I think the reason for this could be because we are instructed to focus on the breath – paying attention to, and staying with, the breath is far more important than being able to touch your toes, for example It is the breath that connects us with the rest of the world. Yoga is breath! PS yoga also gives me an amazing appetite. hahaha Om shanti I have been doing yoga for about eight years or so but despite this commitment I still end up rolling about the floor with no finesse, lol, and I am no more flexible now than I was before!

Yoga is moving meditation to me as well. I see my mind so clearly, commenting, judging, etc. And then I let go of that. Because that mind is unstable and when it is unstable my body is also.

But I do know how it is unfortunately...I totally agree with what you say about feeling full of life. You feel so active, so happy to be alive. And body awareness is another important one for me. I notice more subtle things about what's going on in my body, how it feels, and what it's telling me. Thanks for sharing! Colleen If I could I would practice yoga every day!

I am from India. Although Tibetan teachers are great but i have also found equally great teachers even in West. These are just different forms of Buddhism (i.e. Tibetan, Western etc.) So we should not fall in the comparison of teachers as meditation depends purely upon the personnel commitment and practice. Even Buddha attained enlightenment through his own practice and dedication. May you be well and happy !!!!! Thanks Pankaj hi karma,

It would be unfortunate to propagate the myth that people have to go to Asia to get meditation instruction. With metta, Bodhipaksa Hi Karma,

There are many forms of Buddhism besides Tibetan Buddhism and many fine teachers in the West. It would be unfortunate to propagate the myth that people have to go to Asia to get meditation instruction.
