The quiet hour (Brahma Muhurta) is the traditional time for practice, just before sunrise.
जात्यन्तरपरिणामः प्रकृत्यापूरात्
jāty-antara-pariṇāmaḥ prakṛty-āpūrāt
Transformation into a new form comes from the overflowing of nature.
Yoga Sutras 4.2 · verse 164 of 196
Unfolding the thread
How does a person truly change? Not by force applied from outside, but by nature itself flowing in and filling a new shape, the way a river fills a new channel. Deep change is nature's abundance, released.
Try today
Notice one way you have genuinely changed over the years. Did it come by force, or by something flowing in?
The Echo
The same truth, heard in another tradition
“The movement of the Tao By contraries proceeds; And weakness marks the course Of Tao's mighty deeds.”
