#YogiAssignment Patience ?
I am not a naturally patient person. When I have an idea I get the feeling like I want it to have happened already. But 17 years of practice has taught me patience. I've heard from students and questioned myself, how long before this pose happens? How long for a handstand and how long for my legs to go behind my head? Every pose has its lesson and it can't be rushed. Things happen in the body's time and no amount of fighting or forcing will make it faster. In fact the more you push the longer it takes. Patience like any attitude can be practiced. Contained within patience is trust, faith and surrender. You're willing to let it go because you believe that it will happen one day when the time is right, when everything is lined up. But you never give up, you keep working, believing, practicing, with patience. ?

Three tips to cultivate patience:
1. Infinite patience brings immediate results. We practice to gain more peace not to bend the body into shapes. The moment you have patience it imparts a gift of peace and miraculously the body opens.
2. Let it go. What in your life are you rushing and forcing? Are you being impatient about a life situation or another person? How do you feel if you turn it over and let it take its own time? Don't give up but stop trying to "make" it happen or force your will to be done. Try it out and notice the effect.
3. Be patient with yourself and others. Hidden in a patient spirit is the gift of forgiveness. In order to accept that what you want isn't happening now you have to be willing to forgive. ?

Thanks for being patient with me. I'm posting Yogi Assignments on Tuesdays and I'm a day late. Tag a friend and share this message. Share your experience of patience. Are you a patient person or are you more in a rush to get to the goal? ?
