Watch thoughts as they arise. Just watch them. Notice their patterns. Feel emotions as they arise. Let them be, just let them flow where they will, even if they seem inexplicable.
Balance is the key.
Yogic practices point the way to balance. By asking the practitioner to pay attention. As you gently and respectfully train the body, moving at your own pace, pay attention. The postures, done slowly, are difficult. To do them properly requires close attention.
