]]> Comment on CNN Got It Wrong: Now Watch What Really Happened (Part 3) by Gloria Steinen http://dahnyogavoice.com/2010/01/18/cnn-got-it-wrong-now-watch-what-really-happened-part-3/#comment-1723 Gloria Steinen Sun, 11 Apr 2010 01:50:17 +0000 http://dahnyogavoice.com/?p=770#comment-1723 Wakefulness. Wakefulness is the way to life. The fool sleeps as if he were already dead. But the master is awake. And he lives forever. He watches. He is clear. How happy he is! For he sees that wakefulness is life. How happy he is. Following the path of the awakened. With great perseverance, he medi...tates, seeking freedom and happiness. So awake, reflect, watch. Work with care and attention. Live in the way. And the light will grow in you. By watching and working. The master makes for himself an island. Which the flood cannot overwhelm. The fool is careless. But the master guards his watching. It is his most precious treasure. He never gives in to desire. He meditates. And in the strength of his resolve. He discovers true happiness. He overcomes desire - And from the tower of his wisdom. He looks down with dispassion. Upon the sorrowing crowd. From the mountain top. He looks down at those who live close to the ground. Mindful among the mindless. Awake while others dream. Swift as the race horse he outstrips the field. By watching Indra became king of the gods. How wonderful it is to watch. How foolish to sleep. The beggar who guards his mind and fears the waywardness of his thoughts burns through every bond with the fire of his vigilance. The beggar who guards his mind and fears his own confusioncannot fall. He has found his way to peace. Wakefulness.
Wakefulness is the way to life.

The fool sleeps as if he were already dead.
But the master is awake.
And
he lives forever.
He watches.
He is clear.
How happy he is!

For he sees that wakefulness is life.
How happy he is.
Following
the path of the awakened.
With great perseverance, he medi…tates,
seeking freedom and happiness.
So awake, reflect,
watch.
Work with care and attention.
Live in the way.
And the light will grow in you.
By watching and working.
The
master makes for himself an island.
Which the flood cannot
overwhelm.
The fool is careless.
But the master
guards his watching.
It is his most precious treasure.

He never gives in to desire.
He meditates.
And
in the strength of his resolve.
He discovers true happiness.

He overcomes desire –
And from the tower of his wisdom.

He looks down with dispassion.
Upon the sorrowing crowd.
From
the mountain top.
He looks down at those who live close to
the ground.
Mindful among the mindless.
Awake while others
dream.
Swift as the race horse he outstrips the field.
By
watching Indra became king of the gods.
How wonderful
it is to watch.
How foolish to sleep.
The beggar who
guards his mind and fears the waywardness of his thoughts burns
through every bond with the fire of his vigilance.
The
beggar who guards his mind and fears his own confusioncannot
fall. He has found his way to peace.

What's that you say? Dahn Yoga is a cult? Q. What exactly do they do there? Q. They stretch, breath deeply, hug, make their bodies strong and flexible, care for the earth and all of it's citizens? Q.

]]> Comment on Healing Society in Action: Kimberly’s Neighborhood Dahn Yoga Class by Michela http://dahnyogavoice.com/2010/02/12/healing-society-in-action-kimberlys-neighborhood-dahn-yoga-class/#comment-996 Michela Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:50:45 +0000 http://dahnyogavoice.com/?p=969#comment-996 Hi Kate, While you should always consult your doctor before starting any exercise program, I can say that many people who have limited mobility and have difficulty getting up from and down to the floor take Dahn Yoga classes, even those with arthritis. The people at the centers, both staff and members, are very helpful and the classes are designed so that you just do as much as you can. Some people with arthritis have testified that the exercises have improved their symptoms. Here is an example from one person with multiple sclerosis who has trouble getting up from the floor. She wrote about her first Dahn Yoga class in her blog: http://msscars2stars.blogspot.com/. Hi Kate,
