Practices

When I teach these practices - yoga - asana, pranayama, and, meditation - I teach them not to attain freedom or enlightenment/liberation because we cannot strive for that which we already are, but teach them so that people understand they are just doing these things to maintain the vehicle. To move the body with asana to keep it supple and strong, to do pranayama to live longer and be grounded, and to meditate so that they don’t get caught in what is not real. And the practices we do maintain the vehicle not the spirit. There is nothing we need to do the become liberated as we are already free and in that freedom we may truly enjoy our experiences in presence.

If someone has cancer, the person’s spirit doesn’t have cancer, their vehicle (body) does. The spirit remains healthy. The spirit can never be anything but perfectly healthy.

May you all enjoy your freedom today and may you enjoy whatever premium gas (practices, food, water, etc) you do to maintain the vehicle so that your spirit can continue to enjoy these experiences.
