Yoga helps us realize the universality of both pleasure and pain and, perhaps, more important, the natural human tendency to run from pain and run towards pleasure. Once we experience first hand how much an injury hurts, how deflating it can be to backslide for no reason or how frustrating financial limitations can be we will never be able to close our heart to another being going through the same experience. In this way all the pain we feel when we practice yoga is itself a heart-opening path to the realization of empathy. Our pain is not ours alone no matter how intense it seems. Our loss is also not unique no matter how deep or pervasive it is. As many problems as we have there is someone somewhere else on Earth with more.

On a lighter note, I’m still waiting for the weekend!
