Shanti Kitti Yoga

Anger is Within Me, Thich Nhat Hanh A monk decides to meditate alone so he takes a boat and goes to the middle of the lake to meditate. After a few hours of sil...ence, he suddenly feels the blow of another boat hitting his. With his eyes still closed, he feels his anger rising and, when he opens his eyes, he is ready to shout at the boatman who dared to disturb his meditation. But when he opened his eyes, he saw that it was an empty boat, not tied up, floating in the middle of the lake... At that moment, the monk achieves self-realization and understands that anger is within him; it simply needs to hit an external object to provoke it. After that, whenever he meets someone who irritates or provokes his anger, he remembers; the other person is just an empty boat. Anger is inside me.

Small classes with great instructions!

When a cat falls out of a tree, it lets go of itself. The cat becomes completely relaxed, and lands lightly on the ground. But if a cat were about to fall out o...f a tree and suddenly make up its mind that it didn’t want to fall, it would become tense and rigid, and would be just a bag of broken bones upon landing. In the same way, it is the philosophy of the Tao that we are all falling off a tree, at every moment of our lives. As a matter of fact, the moment we were born we were kicked off a precipice and we are falling, and there is nothing that can stop it. So instead of living in a state of chronic tension , and clinging to all sorts of things that are actually falling with us because the whole world is impermanent, be like a cat. ~ Alan Watts artwork by Taguchi Yuka

This beautiful girl needs a home. She is very sweet but living on the street. I have taken her to the vet and she is healthy. If there’s anyone out there who can take her in please message me.

In loving memory of one of our dear practitioners who transitioned on this day 2 years ago, John Judd. We still miss your presence and dry sense of humor. XOXO
