Guest guest Posted December 2, 2000 Report Posted December 2, 2000 There is a Buddhist parable that says something about a student looking at the masters finger instead of looking where it is pointing.<br> When I take the class i don't want to be just doing the poses. Or in other words i don't want to be just looking at the masters finger. Is there any wisdom you people can share with me to bring me to a deeper understanding of what is all about? Please share.<br>-Jesus. Quote
Guest guest Posted December 2, 2000 Report Posted December 2, 2000 An experienced teacher will let you know where to focus your gaze during practice...<br><br>When I studied for several months with KP Manju with just one other student in my beginning Ashtanga days, I asked Manju many questions. Usually he would laugh (making me laugh) and say go drink a beer and have some pizza. The next day would always be an intense session of maybe 100 A sun signs and 10 sets of 5X backbends. Not many postures, just major repetition, focus and breathing.<br><br>His point. Do the yoga, it doesn't have to be a great # of postures and the answers will come. The more time we spent together the more we just laughed. Best of luck with your practice.<br><br>Yours in yoga, Quote
