It is not necessary for you to try too hard in this practice. All that is necessary is for your mind and body to be present like the moving grasses, the petals of a tulip, the currents and subcurrents of endless rivers. ~ Michael Stone, from Awake in the World
After coming across the above quote from his book, I found a video about the book and Michael Stone’s work. It takes another look at how meditation is vital not just for our own personal well-being and growth but for that of all of society and the planet too.
How to work in an attention deficit society…
Quote from youtube:
In his upcoming book ‘Awake in the World‘, Michael Stone teaches the essentials of mindfulness and yoga practice, combining simplicity with the notion of interdependence of all beings. Regarding yoga practice, he emphasizes that yoga is not about some ultimate reality but about the here and now; it’s about the way things unfold in each moment. With that awareness, the practitioner opens to a still calm at the root of all experience. This state is a glimpse of freedom from dissatisfaction and craving.
