Principle 14 - Vritt-s
Activity in the Heart-Mind
Wisdom arrives inside the circle; affairs are left outside the gate.
- Zen Master Hongzhi
Thoughts
The activity on the surface of the heart-mind can conceal our inner light of awareness
Practicing yoga includes doing everything i can to cultivate a calm and stable heart-mind.
I will reduce distracting and harmful thoughts by practicing meditation regularly, even if it is only for a few minutes a day.
Exercises
Think of a time when a preconceived notion has caused you to judge someone unfairly, possibly based on stereotype. How can you prevent this from happening again?
Sit quietly in meditation and observe how thoughts and emotions distract your attention from the point of focus.
Try and separate the detrimental thoughts and emotions from the helpful ones, and then investigate where the negative ones came from.
