Our teacher tonight in yoga said this while we were doing yoga, "let go of the suffering and go with the flow." It seemed so easy to do. I wasn't suffering. Even in a hot Bikram yoga class. I wonder how hard it would be do just that if I was suffering.
The intense kind of suffering I seem to get from time to time. All emotional. Sometimes I get fatigued in the Triangle Pose and have to stand out the second set. That is such a killer posture. Bikram says that you use every part of your body and muscle to do that posture. "It's a marriage between the heart and lungs", Bikram also says.
Why do we hold unto suffering if its optional? Is it optional? Can we simply let go of it? It seems like a simple thing to do. I remember at times being the suffering. It would simply overpower my entire being and I became one with it.
Let go of suffering. This could be the theme I adopt for my upcoming 60 day yoga challenge.
I think I like it.
