Generosity of the Heart: Teaching Yoga on the Grassy Knoll: August 25, 2021: Kihei: HI

Generosity of the heart is the beginning of meditation—Krishamurti

Self study (what the yogis call swadyaya), when engaged in earnest, is not for the faint of heart. The sage Krishamurti said, "generosity of the heart is the beginning of meditation". One way that could be practiced is with great internal integrity and allowing for all the feels.

This work is easier to do when we are supported. We used the Grassy Knoll, our sangha, our breath and these poses to be our support system.

Generosity of the heart isn't just for ourselves. We do our practices in earnest so we can be better forces for love in the world.
