Even as the global pandemic sweeps one hotspot and another, life goes on. Babies are being born. Lovers are marrying. Birthdays parties are happening. The birds are singing. Blossoms are blooming. There is cause for celebration.
When others are ill, sad, afraid, grieving, dying, it may be very hard to access your inherent joy. Yoga theory holds that our most essential spirit is full of bliss. The practices help us to access this nature.
Are you allowing yourself to feel joy at this time with so much sorrow? What new life can you celebrate? Ki to Happiness shares the following Yoga Sutra: (Book 1, number 33) By sympathy with the happy, compassion for the sorrowful, delight in the holy disregard of the unholy, the psychic nature moves to gracious peace.
