Unlike our judging mind, yoga and meditation are mirrors that accept us as we are.
The judging mind has an endless maze of “oughts” and “shoulds” ultimately unsatisfiable by its ferocious appetite for “correctness.”
The mirror of our higher or universal self (the Self), on the other hand, is infinitely inclusive in its great love and respect for all creation–life!
Though usually so superior in its accustomed prideful posture, the judging mind is stunned and in awe, humbled into silence by the immense grandeur of the Self.
