Yoga -attention within oneself


Yoga is a process of the unfolding of the layers of oneself,if one pays close attention to the subtle discoveries that surface ,creativity always follows.
The poet Rilke understood this well as he wrote of the unfolding of an artist in"Letters to a Young Poet" .He said,"as you unfold as an artist,just keep on,quietly and earnestly,growing through all that happens to you.You can not disrupt the process more violently than by looking outside yourself for anwers that may be only found by attending to your innermost feeling"
" Attention to one's inner most feelings" is essential ,looking inward so we may be useful and do things of meaning outwardly creatively with each other.
