Journal Prompts for Yogic Wisdom

Return to Wisdom

Notes on items:

1. Chapter 8 from Donna Farhi, "Embodied Awareness" - Evaluate in light of your practice of asanas.

2. Use experience of meditation and yoga to assess the value of contemplative calm and quietness of mind in daily life. Try to evaluate what it means to obtain an "observer" standpoint. You might want to review the discussion of the "five kleshas" in Farhi p. 58 in connection with this assessment.

3. Observe the practice of moral principles and observances (Miller Part Two, p. 44ff) self-consciously over a two week period. Notice specific situations in which the states implied by these principles and observances obtain and do not obtain.
