Quote:

Our yoga practice and I’m using that in the widest sense, can help us observe the thoughts of self doubt and judgment that arise and when we observe the fact of, Gee I wish I were younger, gee I wish I didn’t have so many wrinkles, gee who is that old person in the mirror that when we can see that those are not facts but that those are judgments and perceptions and that we can choose other ones and that we can also illicit from ourselves, evoke from ourselves a certain compassion for the process of life itself.
