one aspect of yoga that i love is how accepting people can be. now you won't find this everywhere unfortunately, however my greatest yoga experiences have come from teachers that help you to feel powerful, unique and loved everytime you come to class.
although it's difficult to remember, i'm consistently trying to keep that idea in mind...help those i come in contact with (in every aspect of life) to feel powerful, unique and loved.
i'm working on it. and as i'm working on it i've come across some inspiring readings, quotes etc:
'always be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle.' plato
'lots of people on your right hand and on your left are carrying bumps and bruises that they hope will be healed and made whole. someone you know is carrying a spiritual or physical or emotional burden of some sort, or some other affliction drawn from life's catalog of a thousand kinds of sorrow. in the spirit of Christ, jump into this work. help people. heal old wounds and try to make things better' elder jeffrey r. holland
'when we finally begin to really "see" each other, to honor, respect and revere what each of us has to offer and who each of us really is, and to allow others to fulfill the piece that we were not meant to fulfill ourselves, then we can more easily leave any fear behind and begin to come together as a whole.' karen bishop
