Always Do Your Best (Yoga and The Four Agreements)

  


In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz says by always doing our best we can avoid negative self-talk. We can feel good about everything we do. Of course sometimes we will be tired, or sad or angry. We may make mistakes because we are human but if we know we are always doing our best in that moment we can silence the judge in our heads that is ready to criticize us for supposed transgressions. He says in order to be doing our best we have to be focusing on the task at hand and not the reward. In this way we can always be satisfied with our own part in things and find real happiness.

Don't Make Assumptions (Yoga and The Four Agreements)


Don Miguel Ruiz says by making assumptions we confuse our own ideas with the truth of things. An example of the way this can hurt us is if we assume someone knows what we want from them, so we feel hurt when they don't give it to us instead of asking for what we need. Or we want to talk to someone about something but we are so sure of their reaction we decide not to bring it up and then feel resentful because of their attitude, when maybe if we had talked about our problem or idea we would have gotten the response we needed, but we never gave it a chance. Try to notice when you are making assumptions and ask yourself if there is a way that these assumptions may be delaying or defeating your true understanding.

The Heart of Yoga


At root Yoga is about recognizing the interconnectedness of all things. Every molecule of our bodies was merely stardust millennia ago. Some connections are subtle and ancient like our relationship to the stars. Some are ongoing and appear just below our ability to sense them. Here is a way we are all connected at the heart level through electromagnetic energy.
"Our heart creates the strongest electromagnetic field of our body. It is up to sixty times as strong as the field the brain generates and can be detected up to fifteen feet from the body."  

Think of this the next time you are on a bus, or meeting with your boss or hugging a loved one. Your hearts electromagnetic energy is constantly in contact with everyone around you. It is a beautiful way we are all connected.
