I’ve found the teachings of Atisha and the commentaries of Pema Chodron on the Lojong practice dating back to 12th century Tibet to be particularly helpful now.
Atisha reaches through time to remind us of the critical role attitude plays in the experience of life and he challenges us to use adversity as the perfect opportunity through which to explore and mindfully choose which attitudes steer our actions.
The 59 aphorisms or slogans resume the essence of this mind-training practice to overcome mental, physical and emotional habits that cause suffering. No wonder! It is in adversity that old habits come flying back to goad us into recklessness. Atisha provides a spiritual compass and attitudes to keep us on track.
Dig in with me to deepen your practices as we explore attitude through yoga, meditation and transpersonal work this month.
Below, you’ll find a schedule for Saint Barth and online classes. You can schedule remote or live private sessions in either yoga or transpersonal work through my website or by giving me a call.
Stay healthy, stay mindful and keep in touch.
Sending you all lots of love and gratitude for the time we share.
