A yoga teacher was here for a
healing session today. She has learned in a school
of a certain tradition and has followed their
teachings for five years. However lately she felt
that she would like to change her way of practicing
and teaching because she felt many limitations and
boundaries in it. She already started to change and
followed her feeling more than sticking to the
rules. She asked me today if this was okay. I told
her what I think about that. It is like she had been
on a narrow street and now comes to a point where
the street is wider. In nearly every tradition there
are rules about what to do and how to do it. Some
are even very strict and many set limits to the free
will. They even create a lot of fear in people. What
will happen if you do not follow the rules? This is
why I do not want to follow any tradition. Europeans
tend to care too much about rules and try to be
perfect by sticking 100% to them. But this is not
the way. You should not be afraid of doing what your
heart tells you. No one should be manipulated to do
what somebody else wants him to do. Everyone has his
own heart. There can be guidelines to help you and
if your heart tells you that your way is in
something else you should listen to it. Don't
be afraid.
We had a
wonderful evening with friends in Mainz. Zelma had
cooked a very delicious dinner and afterwards Mike
gave a special little private piano concert. We all
loved it!
