An infectious virus does not discriminate; it will take on any breathing human as its host.
Neither does the fear and even despondency associated with coronavirus know any limits to its spread, except to maybe the most callous.
It has spread world-wide to even those sheltering in place!
However, yoga and meditation can take us to a happiness (yes, I will use that word) beyond circumstance.
It has always had this power and influence.
That is, at its core, its amazing power–to transform seemingly stone into gold, disaster into opportunity, to bring the presence of mind to face the situation as it and make the most of even the worst of circumstances. This power can be the the fulcrum from which stamina, perseverance, and enthusiasm spring.
Far from callous, in the midst of emotional turmoil, it is the calm, the center of the storm, if you will.
This eye is the witness, the compassionate yet detached which stirs with love and drives us to be “happy” even in the most difficult times.
Yoga and meditation can reveal the innate markers for this deep happiness. Practice and discover this inner positivity and strength. It is at the heart of who we are!
The more of us that get infected with it, the better!
