Well, this woman just cut in front of me in line - pretended she didn't see me, was in a stae of "kerfuffle" - got annoyed with the cashier - and then she gave me the most angry ugly scrunched up look ever. So - has yoga helped me have no anger toward her?

Has yoga allowed me to have complete compassion and no judgement?

Am I immune to other people giving me death stares because I practice yoga?

The answer to all these questions is no - BUT I am definately more aware of my tendency to go down the dark path.

SO -

Anger will always be in all of us. The seeds are planted in all of us - BUT sometimes they sprout quicker in other people.

Yoga and meditation will never get rid of these seeds - but they will teach us to OBSERVE everything that comes up in us - and then NOTICE.

That's all we have to do. Just NOTICE.

NOTICING IS AWARENESS -

AWARENESS IS A LIGHT.

The light shines through the darkness, and things become clear.

The path of yoga brings clarity and a brighter light for those who follow.

As for the angry lady...

I gave her a free yoga pass.

Peace
Andrea
