Yoga this Week – July 28, 2013

Hatha Yoga
Ha-Sun
Tha-Moon
Yoga-To unite
Hatha Yoga is the practice of uniting our mind, body and spirit.  It is a practice that also balances our energies.  Our Masculine (Paternal), Ha, energy is one of heat, movement and effort.  Our Feminine (Maternal), Tha, energy is one of cooling, quiet compassion and receptivity.  In a recent discussion sparked by a dharma talk led by Wade Imre Morresette, it was said that our society has become accustomed to leading with the Ha energy of the masculine.  In other words, we are focused on the doing, the accomplishing, the end result without considering the Tha energy that deals with love, kindness and a concern for all involved.
Our Yoga practice connects us to both these energies, however, our intention before, during and after class should be one of receptivity.   As we move through our physical practice we create heat and are immersed in the “doing” of our poses.  As we come into stillness, we become quiet, receptive and open to the teachings within and without.   Having a balance between these two energies enables us to skillfully maneuver through our lives and act in the most productive way for all involved.
Think about it for a moment,  how would moving into the receptive energy of the moon, allowing our intention to rest on loving kindness and unconditional love, change the way we “do” things?   From cleaning our home, to traveling our roadways, doing our jobs, to speaking to a loved one, our “Ha” energy will allow all we do to shine forth with love, compassion, forgiveness and a sense of connection to all who will be affected by our actions.
