The word yoga has several meanings. One of its meanings is yoking together or joining. Removing dualities from our awareness joins us together with all the rest of this earthly experience. After spending six and a half hours in a workshop with a wonderful teacher named Pam Stewart from PEI who has over thirty years experience in the Iyengar yoga tradition, I came away with a glimpse of understanding of this falling away of dualities.
After pranayama practice, and a quiet asana practice, when you quiet yourself down thoroughly to a very deep level then when you slowly reawaken to embrace your sensory awareness, and in the very moment of transitioning to this very busy world of ours, you realize yoga. You realize that we are joined to the rest of the world. We are the wooden floor, we are the air, we are the blankets underneath us, we are everything.
As Pam said, let go of the dualities..... of male and female, ..... rich and poor, .... illness and health. Softly let go.
