Working with one’s mind is the key to transformation
These are lovely reminders to us that the core of transformation is through working with the mind and our attitudes, and that the best way to do this is through meditation which has been the cornerstone of yoga practice for over 5,000 years and still is for the traditional forms of yoga.
Some more modern (past 100 years) forms of yoga have lost sight of this, and have mainly focused on the physical asanas.
However it is through the meditation and the other more subtle heart felt practices that we are able to get more in touch with our own true inner nature, and let go of selfishness and open more to love and compassion for all.
Thankfully many yoga teachers within these more physical schools of yoga also practice meditation themselves, and they also bring these practices and teaching to their classes and workshops.
