1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:02.520
<v Speaker 1>And everyone would say I was a thief if I

2
00:00:02.560 --> 00:00:06.879
<v Speaker 1>stole something, but I don't get caught. I never get caught.

3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Where's the karma and that? But for the rest of

4
00:00:10.119 --> 00:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>my life, I'm looking over my shoulder. Am I going

5
00:00:14.039 --> 00:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>to get caught? You know? I'm carrying that energy with me,

6
00:00:17.079 --> 00:00:21.199
<v Speaker 1>and that energy suppresses what I could be the bigger

7
00:00:21.239 --> 00:00:23.879
<v Speaker 1>person of what I could be, let's say, because I'm

8
00:00:23.879 --> 00:00:27.239
<v Speaker 1>carrying that negative energy with me. So it's not necessarily

9
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>that if you do something, karma comes along and smacks

10
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:33.520
<v Speaker 1>comes back and smacks you. It's the energy to carry

11
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>with you. Pay attention to what you want to carry

12
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 1>with you through life.

13
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:40.280
<v Speaker 2>What's up, everybody, and welcome back to NYYT where you

14
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 2>are learning to level up your yoga teaching one masterful

15
00:00:42.759 --> 00:00:46.439
<v Speaker 2>class at a time. This episode is called Karma, Forgiveness

16
00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.159
<v Speaker 2>and the Four Great Passions. What if the hardest part

17
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:54.479
<v Speaker 2>isn't what happened, but what you're still carrying from it.

18
00:00:55.000 --> 00:01:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Today's guest doctor Lynn, helps reframe karma beyond those cliches

19
00:01:00.560 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 2>that are on mugs and T shirts, like what goes

20
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 2>around comes around or karma is a bitch. We redefine karma.

21
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:11.040
<v Speaker 2>What it really is as a philosophy, how a candy

22
00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:14.959
<v Speaker 2>bar reveals how you relate to yourself, craving in control,

23
00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:18.480
<v Speaker 2>why some interactions stay with you longer than they should,

24
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 2>the key to forgiveness that doesn't ask you to be fake,

25
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:27.599
<v Speaker 2>passive or pretend everything is fine, The four great passions

26
00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:30.280
<v Speaker 2>that quietly run the show for most of us, and

27
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.000
<v Speaker 2>the depth behind the thought your health is your greatest wealth.

28
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:37.400
<v Speaker 2>And in one section, we went off on a tangent

29
00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.840
<v Speaker 2>about karma, and it reminded me of a lecture that

30
00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.200
<v Speaker 2>I heard in my three hundred hour yoga teacher training.

31
00:01:42.439 --> 00:01:45.680
<v Speaker 2>So I actually pulled out my notes from my three

32
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 2>hundred hour with one of my teachers, because you can

33
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:51.439
<v Speaker 2>hear me in this episode. I'm like reaching for the thought,

34
00:01:51.519 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>stumbling for it. I almost get it. As I look

35
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:55.480
<v Speaker 2>back at the notes, I was like, Okay, I wasn't

36
00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:58.200
<v Speaker 2>far off, but I wanted to read it to you here,

37
00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 2>just to educate you on karma a little bit and

38
00:02:01.599 --> 00:02:04.799
<v Speaker 2>remind myself. So my teacher taught me the three types

39
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:08.319
<v Speaker 2>of karma. The first was your sanchita, which is the

40
00:02:08.360 --> 00:02:11.080
<v Speaker 2>storehouse of karma, so that maybe the collection from the

41
00:02:11.080 --> 00:02:15.120
<v Speaker 2>past lives and then Parubda is the karma that you're

42
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:19.759
<v Speaker 2>now dealing with because of Sanchita the storehouse. So this

43
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 2>is like the manifested the things that are happening because

44
00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>of who you were in the past. And then Agami

45
00:02:26.680 --> 00:02:30.879
<v Speaker 2>is the karma that you're creating because of Parubda, so

46
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 2>because of what is manifested the things that you were

47
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:37.360
<v Speaker 2>manifesting for the future, which was just like a nice

48
00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.159
<v Speaker 2>little refresh for me. And the next thing that my

49
00:02:40.199 --> 00:02:42.280
<v Speaker 2>teacher taught me I'm still reading just from my notes

50
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:45.120
<v Speaker 2>of my three hundred hour just because it's interesting, was

51
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:47.680
<v Speaker 2>the three actions of karma. And this is like viewing

52
00:02:47.800 --> 00:02:52.000
<v Speaker 2>karma and your actions as seeds. So there's v karma,

53
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.840
<v Speaker 2>which is the black seed. This is non virtuous actions

54
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.879
<v Speaker 2>when your motivation is to harm for your benefit. So

55
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:03.319
<v Speaker 2>karma which is a dirty gray seed. This is virtue

56
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.800
<v Speaker 2>virtuous acts but actually done with selfish intent. And then

57
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 2>there's a karma, which is a pure white seed, virtuous

58
00:03:11.919 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 2>actions without expectation, doing for reward of action like your

59
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.000
<v Speaker 2>reward is doing the action itself. It's selfless service. And

60
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 2>then I wrote, we have the option to change the

61
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:26.360
<v Speaker 2>world instead of the world changing us, which is basically

62
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>the golden rule. Do unto others as you would want

63
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.319
<v Speaker 2>to have done to you. And then something else interesting

64
00:03:32.439 --> 00:03:34.319
<v Speaker 2>that I wrote at the bottom was to think of

65
00:03:34.439 --> 00:03:39.520
<v Speaker 2>karma like trauma. You can feel its effects long after

66
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:44.360
<v Speaker 2>the event, but you are responsible with how you deal

67
00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:47.280
<v Speaker 2>with it, like what you do with it. So if

68
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 2>that at all interests you, this episode is going to

69
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:54.080

<v Speaker 1>Well, thank you for inviting me. This is exciting. I

92
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:49.519
<v Speaker 1>love talking with yoga teachers.

93
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:53.240
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, Well, where do we even begin with someone

94
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 3>with your with all the receipts of the incredible work

95
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:00.560
<v Speaker 3>that you've done in your life and your career, and

96
00:06:00.680 --> 00:06:02.920
<v Speaker 3>all the areas that you could go. I guess my

97
00:06:03.000 --> 00:06:06.000
<v Speaker 3>first question for you is what exactly is a yoga

98
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:10.480
<v Speaker 3>nutrition therapist? How do you blend those two things together?

99
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, first off, I am a naturopathic doctor and as

100
00:06:16.199 --> 00:06:21.000
<v Speaker 1>studying natureopathy, natureopathy is really has three pillars of health.

101
00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:26.439
<v Speaker 1>That's well the foundation and it is nutrition, exercise and sleep. Rest.

102
00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Those are the three pillars of health from a naturopathic standpoint.

103
00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:34.639
<v Speaker 1>So my background is really in you know, there's a

104
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>heavy nutritional background there being a naturopathic doctor, but there's

105
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:42.879
<v Speaker 1>also there's a branch of yoga called on Amaya kosha

106
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.120
<v Speaker 1>and on a my kosha is it's the it's the

107
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:51.800
<v Speaker 1>yoga of eating and it's not any specific diet, but

108
00:06:51.959 --> 00:06:55.399
<v Speaker 1>what it means is paying a paying very careful attention

109
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:59.319
<v Speaker 1>to what and how we eat and how important that

110
00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.519
<v Speaker 1>is because it's not just the nutritions that we take in,

111
00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.040
<v Speaker 1>because we do have to take nutrition in, but you know,

112
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 1>we live in a society of go you know, we

113
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:12.879
<v Speaker 1>don't chew enough. So it's really about how to really

114
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:18.639
<v Speaker 1>appreciate this body and what you need to give this

115
00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:21.639
<v Speaker 1>body to keep it healthy. So that's really weird in

116
00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>a nutshell.

117
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:26.199
<v Speaker 2>Oh amazing. And here we are. Here we are as

118
00:07:26.199 --> 00:07:29.680
<v Speaker 2>I'm speaking with you, I'm eating because the appointments are

119
00:07:30.079 --> 00:07:32.639
<v Speaker 2>back to back and sometimes that's just life. You know,

120
00:07:32.680 --> 00:07:34.639
<v Speaker 2>we got to like squeeze it in where we can.

121
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>And I was mentioning to you before we clicked record

122
00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:40.720
<v Speaker 2>that as a breastfeeding and nursing mother, man the calorie

123
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:43.199
<v Speaker 2>expenditure just of keeping up with that. It's like I

124
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.639
<v Speaker 2>can't eat enough in a day, but one hundred percent

125
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:50.480
<v Speaker 2>noticing the difference of just the experience of eating where

126
00:07:50.720 --> 00:07:53.160
<v Speaker 2>you don't have as much stimulation, you're not doing anything

127
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.600
<v Speaker 2>other than eating and giving this act all of your

128
00:07:56.639 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 2>focus and slowing down and savoring the food and noticing

129
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 2>the flavors changes the experience but also primes the body

130
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:09.279
<v Speaker 2>for better digestion. I've really noticed that in myself.

131
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.519
<v Speaker 1>So that's really kind of what it is. It's and

132
00:08:12.639 --> 00:08:15.079
<v Speaker 1>it brings in, you know, the yoga and the nature apathy.

133
00:08:15.120 --> 00:08:17.800
<v Speaker 1>That's really my background that I've and what I've done

134
00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:21.279
<v Speaker 1>over forty years is weave the two together because they

135
00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:22.680
<v Speaker 1>fit beautifully together.

136
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:27.279
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. So then how how specifically do you do this work?

137
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.920
<v Speaker 2>Is it through private clientele? And what does that look

138
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:32.159
<v Speaker 2>like if someone were to come to you and want

139
00:08:32.200 --> 00:08:34.960
<v Speaker 2>to begin this process and practice.

140
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Well, I do have on my website people can get

141
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:39.480
<v Speaker 1>in touch with me because I do it online.

142
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:39.679
<v Speaker 2>Now.

143
00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.080
<v Speaker 1>When I first started my practice, it was, you know,

144
00:08:42.320 --> 00:08:44.720
<v Speaker 1>we didn't have zoom and things like that. You know,

145
00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:47.519
<v Speaker 1>I lived in Los Angeles and I had a small

146
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.000
<v Speaker 1>practice and That's really how I started with seeing clients

147
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:55.039
<v Speaker 1>one on one, but then it kind of mushroomed into

148
00:08:56.039 --> 00:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>more teaching. And when I say teaching, you know, I

149
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 1>lectured at the City Loyola Marymont. There's one that they

150
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:06.960
<v Speaker 1>certified people in yoga therapy. So I was a destructor

151
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:11.039
<v Speaker 1>for yoga therapists there, you know. So I really began

152
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:16.480
<v Speaker 1>more lecturing and traveling. And then I became the corporate

153
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.000
<v Speaker 1>educator for an international aromatherapy company and I traveled all

154
00:09:20.039 --> 00:09:22.440
<v Speaker 1>over the world lecturing on that. So it kind of

155
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:26.679
<v Speaker 1>went from seeing one on one clients to more of

156
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:30.000
<v Speaker 1>writing books and teaching actually teaching.

157
00:09:31.000 --> 00:09:35.840
<v Speaker 2>Wow, that's amazing. Congratulations, What a just lighthouse you are

158
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:38.679
<v Speaker 2>for all of us of thinking bigger. You know, I

159
00:09:38.679 --> 00:09:41.039
<v Speaker 2>think sometimes yoga teachers they only see one path of

160
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:44.639
<v Speaker 2>what to do, and that's really expansive to see somebody

161
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:47.080
<v Speaker 2>doing it in that way. I had a tangent, I

162
00:09:47.080 --> 00:09:50.399
<v Speaker 2>guess in my own career in education where I actually

163
00:09:50.440 --> 00:09:54.120
<v Speaker 2>went through doctor Sears. Are you familiar with his work?

164
00:09:54.279 --> 00:09:57.679
<v Speaker 2>His wellness? And I believe it was a nutrition program.

165
00:09:57.879 --> 00:09:59.679
<v Speaker 2>It's been many years since I did at probably over

166
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.639
<v Speaker 2>ten years, but I remember the curriculum was all around

167
00:10:04.080 --> 00:10:08.480
<v Speaker 2>inflammation and how to eat in a way that lowers inflammation,

168
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:11.519
<v Speaker 2>and how this is very arrvetic. Even of a lot

169
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.200
<v Speaker 2>of illnesses begin as inflammation or access heat in the body.

170
00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:19.320
<v Speaker 2>So what do you have to say about that? And

171
00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:21.440
<v Speaker 2>do you find that to be the case of where

172
00:10:21.480 --> 00:10:24.960
<v Speaker 2>you might start when it comes to cleaning up somebody's nutrition.

173
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, you know, I'm a big one, especially in teaching

174
00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:31.159
<v Speaker 1>in my classes, on having people pay attention to their

175
00:10:31.200 --> 00:10:34.200
<v Speaker 1>digestive system. And in my classes we call it the

176
00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:36.840
<v Speaker 1>power channel and it goes from it goes all the

177
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:40.000
<v Speaker 1>way up through the digestive channel, and I have people

178
00:10:40.039 --> 00:10:43.480
<v Speaker 1>do a lot of big deep breathing into that channel

179
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.720
<v Speaker 1>because what we do is and when I say we,

180
00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:50.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're a society of eating foods that really

181
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.159
<v Speaker 1>aren't supplying the body with the nutrients that it needs.

182
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 1>And you've got to think about your body as a machine.

183
00:10:56.440 --> 00:10:59.279
<v Speaker 1>If I'm putting garbage in there, at some point, the

184
00:10:59.320 --> 00:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>body's going to go. I got to react to this,

185
00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>and that's where the inflammation and that's where the problems

186
00:11:06.360 --> 00:11:10.279
<v Speaker 1>come in, is when we are not eating properly, you know,

187
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:13.080
<v Speaker 1>putting the right nutrients in there. And I always would

188
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:16.639
<v Speaker 1>say with my clients, you know, here's the nutrients. For example,

189
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.519
<v Speaker 1>you know you need vitamin B vitamins, and I would

190
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>list out everything that you need and here's how you

191
00:11:21.519 --> 00:11:24.159
<v Speaker 1>get them through this diet. And after you take care

192
00:11:24.200 --> 00:11:27.200
<v Speaker 1>of that, eat all the cookies you want. And they

193
00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>would look at me, and I always say, you won't

194
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.360
<v Speaker 1>want cookies after that. You'll be full, but take care

195
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:35.360
<v Speaker 1>of the body first, and then go ahead, go ahead,

196
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.279
<v Speaker 1>because life is not about being. I mean, we are

197
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 1>wired for pleasure and part of enjoying life is enjoying

198
00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:47.919
<v Speaker 1>the pleasures of life. And you know, it's okay to

199
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:51.120
<v Speaker 1>have that piece of birthday cake. It's okay to have

200
00:11:51.159 --> 00:11:54.200
<v Speaker 1>a dessert once in a while. But it's about giving

201
00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:57.159
<v Speaker 1>your body what it needs to take care of itself.

202
00:11:57.480 --> 00:11:58.759
<v Speaker 1>And then that stuff is okay.

203
00:11:59.200 --> 00:12:02.799
<v Speaker 2>Good, that's good to hear that it can that it

204
00:12:02.840 --> 00:12:04.799
<v Speaker 2>can be more balanced and we can have our cake

205
00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:05.720
<v Speaker 2>and eat it too.

206
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:08.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because most people, you know, when they think about it,

207
00:12:09.159 --> 00:12:12.039
<v Speaker 1>oh my god. And you know, ninety five percent of

208
00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:17.159
<v Speaker 1>diet's fail for this one reason, deprivation. If I tell

209
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.159
<v Speaker 1>you you can't have it, then you're going to be

210
00:12:20.279 --> 00:12:22.399
<v Speaker 1>craving it and you're going to want it, and when

211
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:24.679
<v Speaker 1>you go off the diet, people go right back to

212
00:12:24.799 --> 00:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>those things. So in Korea yoga, which is what I

213
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.919
<v Speaker 1>really was the beginning of my yoga study, Korea is

214
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:35.440
<v Speaker 1>all about balance and it's moderation, and it just means

215
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.399
<v Speaker 1>you balance things out. So for example, if you're craving

216
00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:44.399
<v Speaker 1>craving that candy bar, Krea says, go get the candy bar,

217
00:12:45.759 --> 00:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>take a chunk off, eat it, and throw the rest away.

218
00:12:49.919 --> 00:12:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Moderation Can you throw the rest away?

219
00:12:53.919 --> 00:12:56.279
<v Speaker 2>And I feel like I can, And I'm very blessed

220
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.799
<v Speaker 2>that I am that type of person. My mother in

221
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:00.960
<v Speaker 2>law is like, and my husband a little bit is

222
00:13:00.960 --> 00:13:02.559
<v Speaker 2>that type of person that's like, I can't have it

223
00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:05.720
<v Speaker 2>in the house because once I start, I can't stop.

224
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:07.960
<v Speaker 2>And do you feel like some people really are wired

225
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.679
<v Speaker 2>that way that it's harder for them to cut themselves off.

226
00:13:10.720 --> 00:13:13.080
<v Speaker 2>And I just count myself so lucky to be one

227
00:13:13.080 --> 00:13:15.519
<v Speaker 2>of those people that really can I just want like

228
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:18.320
<v Speaker 2>my one little bite of chocolate after my lunch. And

229
00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm a very moderate person. So yeah, for those people

230
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:25.080
<v Speaker 2>that can resonate or relate to being more of an

231
00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:27.320
<v Speaker 2>extremist and this not only showing up in the way

232
00:13:27.320 --> 00:13:29.759
<v Speaker 2>that they eat, the way they do everything. What would

233
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:32.320
<v Speaker 2>you say to those types of teachers or those types

234
00:13:32.360 --> 00:13:33.120
<v Speaker 2>of people.

235
00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.559
<v Speaker 1>Well, again, it all comes back to moderation, and we're

236
00:13:37.559 --> 00:13:41.159
<v Speaker 1>all different, and we're all you know, it's so hard

237
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:44.519
<v Speaker 1>to give a specific when we live in a general world,

238
00:13:44.960 --> 00:13:47.559
<v Speaker 1>and it's just like when I teach or anything. It's

239
00:13:47.720 --> 00:13:51.639
<v Speaker 1>you know, people have if they're really stressed. You know,

240
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:54.559
<v Speaker 1>some people, if I'm really stressed, I'm one of those

241
00:13:54.600 --> 00:13:59.200
<v Speaker 1>people that don't eat, you know, my appetite, my stomach

242
00:13:59.240 --> 00:14:02.600
<v Speaker 1>type and self really stressed, where other people when they're stressed,

243
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:07.480
<v Speaker 1>they just they eat. So we you know, everybody's circumstances

244
00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:13.720
<v Speaker 1>are very different. But it's really coming back to yourself

245
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.240
<v Speaker 1>and loving and taking care of yourself and understanding that

246
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.039
<v Speaker 1>if you live life and balanced and everything in your

247
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:26.159
<v Speaker 1>life is balanced, you have perfect health. Anytime anything in

248
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.639
<v Speaker 1>the body, mind, and soul is out of balance, and

249
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:32.279
<v Speaker 1>that again is nature apathy. It all three come together,

250
00:14:32.600 --> 00:14:35.240
<v Speaker 1>then we have health. So it really comes back to

251
00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:37.600
<v Speaker 1>reflecting upon yourself.

252
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.799
<v Speaker 2>What were the three again that you said, was it nutrition, sleep,

253
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:46.879
<v Speaker 2>and exercise? Exercise? Okay, those are the three pillars. Yeah, beautiful.

254
00:14:47.120 --> 00:14:50.600
<v Speaker 2>I feel like in this season of motherhood and sleep

255
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:55.720
<v Speaker 2>being sleep being just absolutely obliterated, so broken. You know that,

256
00:14:55.840 --> 00:14:59.399
<v Speaker 2>I do notice when sleep is lacking, I feel hungrier

257
00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.120
<v Speaker 2>and also feel like I need more water, but I

258
00:15:02.200 --> 00:15:06.159
<v Speaker 2>want less exercise because I'm so tired. So it's interesting

259
00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 2>how you know one of these pillars will really affect

260
00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.000
<v Speaker 2>and knock the other one off its equilibrium.

261
00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:16.279
<v Speaker 1>Which we'll think about it. If you eat it, if

262
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.919
<v Speaker 1>you eat a trashy diet and not a good diet,

263
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:21.480
<v Speaker 1>you don't sleep well, so you're right, it knocks that

264
00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:24.600
<v Speaker 1>one off. And if you don't exercise, if you're kind

265
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.440
<v Speaker 1>of lethargic, you know, So the three pillars, it's all

266
00:15:28.480 --> 00:15:32.919
<v Speaker 1>about balancing those out. Now that's easy to say in theory,

267
00:15:33.080 --> 00:15:35.399
<v Speaker 1>now to practice it. You know, we all we live

268
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:37.399
<v Speaker 1>in a very chaotic world, and we live in a

269
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.639
<v Speaker 1>world that comes is just bombarding us with information and stuff.

270
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:45.559
<v Speaker 1>So it's very difficult to balance those out. And it's

271
00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:50.240
<v Speaker 1>also difficult sometimes to find people who are authentic and

272
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:52.799
<v Speaker 1>who really you know, there's so much information out there

273
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.840
<v Speaker 1>that is not really good information. And I always tell

274
00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:59.720
<v Speaker 1>people seek out people who are you know, have the

275
00:15:59.759 --> 00:16:02.720
<v Speaker 1>bad ground seek how people who are really trying to help,

276
00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:04.720
<v Speaker 1>but not somebody who's trying to make a lot of money.

277
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:08.720
<v Speaker 2>So it's so important. And even just with these pillars,

278
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:11.279
<v Speaker 2>it's like so accessible, you know, it's so simple and

279
00:16:11.320 --> 00:16:14.080
<v Speaker 2>always back to the basics, which is the best thing

280
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.440
<v Speaker 2>to be reminded of. And it's just it's works, you know,

281
00:16:18.559 --> 00:16:22.440
<v Speaker 2>it just works. Where does the karma come into play?

282
00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:24.759
<v Speaker 2>And when you say, like, karma master, what is this

283
00:16:24.919 --> 00:16:27.799
<v Speaker 2>kind of work that you do here within this field?

284
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:33.080
<v Speaker 1>Well, to master anything, you have to read about it,

285
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you have to practice it, you have to write about it,

286
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:39.759
<v Speaker 1>and you have to teach it. That's a master. A

287
00:16:39.840 --> 00:16:42.799
<v Speaker 1>master goes through all of those different things. And over

288
00:16:42.840 --> 00:16:46.759
<v Speaker 1>the course of forty years, I've practiced, I've written books,

289
00:16:47.399 --> 00:16:51.320
<v Speaker 1>I've teached, I've lectured. So that puts me in that

290
00:16:51.320 --> 00:16:55.000
<v Speaker 1>that is how you move along that category. And karma

291
00:16:55.120 --> 00:16:59.200
<v Speaker 1>is a philosophy, and you know it is a branch

292
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.799
<v Speaker 1>of yoga, but it's a philosophy and it's and that's

293
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>primarily what I teach is the philosophy of karma, which

294
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:10.680
<v Speaker 1>is simply comes right down to cause and effect.

295
00:17:10.839 --> 00:17:13.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think people are really familiar with the phrase

296
00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:16.920
<v Speaker 2>of what comes around goes around, or karma is a bitch.

297
00:17:18.480 --> 00:17:20.680
<v Speaker 1>And I like to tell people because that is it's

298
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:24.960
<v Speaker 1>very pop culture of good karma, bad karma. That's not karma.

299
00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:28.960
<v Speaker 1>Karma doesn't have judgment that infers judgment, and karma's not

300
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:31.799
<v Speaker 1>about judgment, just says, you know, if I do this,

301
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:35.839
<v Speaker 1>this happens. That's so pay attention, be aware. And I'd

302
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.240
<v Speaker 1>like to use this as an example. Let's say I

303
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:42.160
<v Speaker 1>go out and I steal something, and everyone would say

304
00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:45.039
<v Speaker 1>I was a thief if I stole something, but I

305
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>don't get caught. I never get caught. Where's the karma

306
00:17:49.160 --> 00:17:52.480
<v Speaker 1>that But for the rest of my life, I'm looking

307
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:55.599
<v Speaker 1>over my shoulder. Am I going to get caught? You know?

308
00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm carrying that energy with me, and that energy is

309
00:18:00.440 --> 00:18:02.920
<v Speaker 1>what I could be the bigger person of what I

310
00:18:03.000 --> 00:18:06.079
<v Speaker 1>could be, let's say, because I'm carrying that negative energy

311
00:18:06.119 --> 00:18:09.119
<v Speaker 1>with me. So it's not necessarily that if you do something,

312
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:12.000
<v Speaker 1>karma comes along as smacks, comes back and smacks you.

313
00:18:12.440 --> 00:18:16.000
<v Speaker 1>It's the energy to carry with you. Pay attention to

314
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.240
<v Speaker 1>what you want to carry with you through life.

315
00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:22.039
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that is so good. That's a really great analogy,

316
00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:24.920
<v Speaker 2>and thank you for that. I remember in my three

317
00:18:25.000 --> 00:18:28.119
<v Speaker 2>hundred hour yett we went in a deep dive. My

318
00:18:28.160 --> 00:18:33.720
<v Speaker 2>teacher was telling me about the storehouse of karma, your sarma.

319
00:18:33.759 --> 00:18:36.160
<v Speaker 2>I want to say that it was perubda, but I

320
00:18:36.200 --> 00:18:38.759
<v Speaker 2>think that's wrong. I might be butchering it. But it

321
00:18:38.839 --> 00:18:43.279
<v Speaker 2>was basically where all of your karmaic actions are stored,

322
00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:48.319
<v Speaker 2>that storehouse of karma, and through like crea yoga and

323
00:18:47.799 --> 00:18:52.640
<v Speaker 2>taking action, trying to burn up those karma seeds, and

324
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:55.079
<v Speaker 2>that the karma was like seeds, and it was either

325
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.079
<v Speaker 2>like a black seed or a gray seed or a

326
00:18:57.079 --> 00:19:00.000
<v Speaker 2>white seed, and that the actions that you're taking your eye,

327
00:19:00.039 --> 00:19:03.680
<v Speaker 2>they're in the black seed being like negative action or

328
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.400
<v Speaker 2>hold holding ill will, and then the gray seed being

329
00:19:07.480 --> 00:19:09.920
<v Speaker 2>one of neutral, and then the white seed being one

330
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.599
<v Speaker 2>of obviously like high vibe. So is that in your

331
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.039
<v Speaker 2>methodology or does this sound very different? Or if you

332
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:21.519
<v Speaker 2>were to go about like teaching somebody about karma the

333
00:19:21.559 --> 00:19:25.079
<v Speaker 2>basics and how your actions are being stored and how

334
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:27.119
<v Speaker 2>they play out, how would you describe it?

335
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Well? I would come back to again, we go cause

336
00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:33.319
<v Speaker 1>and effect. Everything's cause and effect. We are nothing more

337
00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:36.839
<v Speaker 1>than a shield of energy. And as I teach my students,

338
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:38.599
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the reason that you and I can see

339
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.720
<v Speaker 1>each other is because the molecules that make up our

340
00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:44.799
<v Speaker 1>energy are moving at a much slower pace and that

341
00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:49.079
<v Speaker 1>creates the material world. But energy, if you speed it up,

342
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:52.279
<v Speaker 1>it's just like water. If you take water, it pours.

343
00:19:52.680 --> 00:19:56.000
<v Speaker 1>If you slow down the molecules of water they freeze.

344
00:19:56.519 --> 00:19:59.680
<v Speaker 1>If you heat up the molecules they turn into steam,

345
00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:01.920
<v Speaker 1>you know they and you can't see it. You know,

346
00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:06.200
<v Speaker 1>it disappears, but it's still there. So we are all

347
00:20:06.319 --> 00:20:09.960
<v Speaker 1>of those things moving around in the world, all three

348
00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:14.400
<v Speaker 1>of those things at once. And so karma really is

349
00:20:14.480 --> 00:20:19.440
<v Speaker 1>about the energy that you absorb. We absorb energy every

350
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:22.799
<v Speaker 1>single day. You and I are absorbing energy. Now just

351
00:20:23.359 --> 00:20:26.160
<v Speaker 1>by communicating, we you know, we are meeting each other

352
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.240
<v Speaker 1>and our energy fields are coming together. It's just like

353
00:20:29.319 --> 00:20:32.680
<v Speaker 1>if you walk into a room and there's someone that

354
00:20:32.920 --> 00:20:36.279
<v Speaker 1>you just get a bad vibe about, you know, or

355
00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:39.720
<v Speaker 1>you get a good vibe. That's energy, it's oral, that's

356
00:20:39.880 --> 00:20:42.799
<v Speaker 1>energy coming off of us. And that's really what I

357
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:46.880
<v Speaker 1>teach people is we are nothing but balls of energy. Now,

358
00:20:46.960 --> 00:20:48.839
<v Speaker 1>how do you want your energy to move through this

359
00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:53.000
<v Speaker 1>world chaotic out here, Do you want to bring it

360
00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:56.119
<v Speaker 1>in and balance it? You know? And bringing in and

361
00:20:56.240 --> 00:20:59.519
<v Speaker 1>balancing it again is very easy in theory, but we

362
00:20:59.599 --> 00:21:03.119
<v Speaker 1>live in a crazy, crazy world and it is very difficult,

363
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:05.880
<v Speaker 1>you know. So it's not something that people should feel

364
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:11.160
<v Speaker 1>guilty about if you lose your temper, you know, because

365
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:15.359
<v Speaker 1>we all do, because we're humans. We all make mistakes.

366
00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.000
<v Speaker 1>But are you aware of them? If I lose my

367
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:21.640
<v Speaker 1>temper and let's say I yell at my husband for something,

368
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:24.759
<v Speaker 1>do I stop and catch my breath and say, wait

369
00:21:24.799 --> 00:21:28.880
<v Speaker 1>a minute, what is this energy I'm giving off? And

370
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:32.920
<v Speaker 1>come back and balance myself and then approach the problem,

371
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:35.640
<v Speaker 1>We're probably going to have a better chance of a solution.

372
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:39.519
<v Speaker 2>So it's kind of like that well said, and I

373
00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:43.079
<v Speaker 2>appreciate all of it, of just becoming aware of it

374
00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:46.759
<v Speaker 2>to change the experience of life. And I think that

375
00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:50.240
<v Speaker 2>if I were to really distill it down or boil

376
00:21:50.279 --> 00:21:52.720
<v Speaker 2>it down to the practice of yoga and the benefits

377
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:57.000
<v Speaker 2>of it, is like same situations and same circumstances, but

378
00:21:57.240 --> 00:22:00.279
<v Speaker 2>is different relation to it, And that in and of

379
00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:02.640
<v Speaker 2>itself is the most profound part about it, is that

380
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:05.480
<v Speaker 2>it's changing the experience of it for the better.

381
00:22:05.920 --> 00:22:08.559
<v Speaker 1>You're a yoga teacher, and I'm sure your audience can

382
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:10.359
<v Speaker 1>relate to this. I mean, you know, I can go

383
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:12.519
<v Speaker 1>in and I can teach and teach, and same people

384
00:22:12.559 --> 00:22:14.200
<v Speaker 1>come to the class and teach and teach and teach,

385
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:17.880
<v Speaker 1>and then one day there's just something I say and

386
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:21.440
<v Speaker 1>the lesson that resonates with somebody. And they've been to

387
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:24.880
<v Speaker 1>every class I've had, you know, and they've liked the

388
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:27.720
<v Speaker 1>class and everything, but that day, and I can't tell

389
00:22:27.720 --> 00:22:29.279
<v Speaker 1>you the people that have come up to me and say,

390
00:22:29.359 --> 00:22:32.799
<v Speaker 1>how did you know I needed that today? And I

391
00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:37.039
<v Speaker 1>always say, you know, when you're ready, the teacher will appear,

392
00:22:37.599 --> 00:22:41.759
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I didn't know, but you've practiced yoga

393
00:22:41.799 --> 00:22:45.960
<v Speaker 1>today because it resonated with you, you know. And we can

394
00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:48.519
<v Speaker 1>teach class after class after class, and it's always a

395
00:22:48.559 --> 00:22:51.119
<v Speaker 1>good class. But then there are those moments, and those

396
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:53.119
<v Speaker 1>are the ones that really touch me.

397
00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:57.240
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I call those receipts of resonance. Anytime like a

398
00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:59.200
<v Speaker 2>student comes up and they just let you know that

399
00:22:59.359 --> 00:23:01.960
<v Speaker 2>it really lands today or they really heard it today,

400
00:23:02.000 --> 00:23:05.839
<v Speaker 2>and that like you're mentioning, you've been saying this day

401
00:23:05.880 --> 00:23:09.440
<v Speaker 2>after day year after year, but for whatever reason, it

402
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:12.839
<v Speaker 2>really struck a chord with them that day. It's so

403
00:23:13.160 --> 00:23:16.119
<v Speaker 2>profound and powerful, and it feels so good to receive

404
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:19.079
<v Speaker 2>that as a teacher, that your work is landing and

405
00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.920
<v Speaker 2>then it's meaningful, it's making an impression, or it's changing

406
00:23:21.960 --> 00:23:27.720
<v Speaker 2>behavior for the better. It's awesome when that happens. Hey,

407

00:24:31.119 --> 00:24:42.160
<v Speaker 2>part of the NYYT community. Good luck. Classic examples of

429
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:46.400
<v Speaker 2>karma yogi's it's this yoga of action or doing good

430
00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:50.119
<v Speaker 2>deeds out in the world from this perspective of we

431
00:24:50.240 --> 00:24:54.079
<v Speaker 2>are all energy balls and beings. How do you then,

432
00:24:54.680 --> 00:25:00.160
<v Speaker 2>how does this translate to people changing their lives guess

433
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.599
<v Speaker 2>these concepts, How does it like translate into their daily

434
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:06.599
<v Speaker 2>living and how do you encourage that? Or is it

435
00:25:06.680 --> 00:25:07.359
<v Speaker 2>something different?

436
00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, it's there's a compassion and understanding are two very

437
00:25:13.200 --> 00:25:15.960
<v Speaker 1>big things that have to do with common Understanding is

438
00:25:16.359 --> 00:25:18.839
<v Speaker 1>understanding that we are all human beings and that we

439
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.480
<v Speaker 1>are all subject to fault, you know, and we all

440
00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:27.720
<v Speaker 1>have these Everybody wants love, everybody has felt hate and anger.

441
00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:31.279
<v Speaker 1>These are emotions, they're human emotions and they're part of

442
00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:35.000
<v Speaker 1>human life. So it's what you do with those. Do

443
00:25:35.079 --> 00:25:37.759
<v Speaker 1>you take that moment to step back and if somebody

444
00:25:37.839 --> 00:25:41.079
<v Speaker 1>is very angry around you and they're yelling and screared.

445
00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.680
<v Speaker 1>Can you step back for a moment and observe what's

446
00:25:44.759 --> 00:25:47.640
<v Speaker 1>going on and understand that they're acting out in a

447
00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:51.519
<v Speaker 1>human nature and have some compassion because you've been there too,

448
00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:55.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, and that is the important thing is to

449
00:25:55.720 --> 00:25:59.480
<v Speaker 1>be able to go, well, yeah, I've had moments where

450
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:02.480
<v Speaker 1>I've lost my temper. I've had moments where I've you know,

451
00:26:02.640 --> 00:26:06.039
<v Speaker 1>done things like that, and you know that's working your

452
00:26:06.119 --> 00:26:08.279
<v Speaker 1>karma and every time you work that, you get a

453
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:10.559
<v Speaker 1>little closer and closer to that purity.

454
00:26:12.640 --> 00:26:16.680
<v Speaker 2>That was a great answer, well done. Yes, I always

455
00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:19.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean even in yoga classes. I think I said

456
00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:22.440
<v Speaker 2>something to the effect of that this morning, of helping

457
00:26:22.920 --> 00:26:26.359
<v Speaker 2>practitioners and students understand, like, if there's any measuring stick

458
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:29.279
<v Speaker 2>or any barometer to take score of your advancement on

459
00:26:29.359 --> 00:26:33.160
<v Speaker 2>the path, it's not in your nailing of the handstand

460
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:36.519
<v Speaker 2>or whatever the poscat may be, but in the moments

461
00:26:36.559 --> 00:26:40.559
<v Speaker 2>in your life when you encounter discomfort or suffering, like

462
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:44.359
<v Speaker 2>not liking it, and being able to have this moment

463
00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:48.559
<v Speaker 2>of awareness within that stimulation and then to to your

464
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:51.720
<v Speaker 2>point of receive it more from a place of understanding

465
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:53.960
<v Speaker 2>of like, yeah, I've I've had moments like this too

466
00:26:54.000 --> 00:26:57.519
<v Speaker 2>where I've I've lost my temper, And to think of

467
00:26:57.599 --> 00:26:59.880
<v Speaker 2>karma in that way, because that's a very like Monday

468
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:05.000
<v Speaker 2>and seemingly unextraordinary way of practicing. Yet at the same time,

469
00:27:05.079 --> 00:27:07.480
<v Speaker 2>that's it. That's the most important one that we can

470
00:27:07.519 --> 00:27:07.880
<v Speaker 2>all do.

471
00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.559
<v Speaker 1>Well. You know my students, you know, they'll come to me, Chris,

472
00:27:11.559 --> 00:27:13.400
<v Speaker 1>when you teach yoga, you come in and you have

473
00:27:13.480 --> 00:27:15.200
<v Speaker 1>the lesson and everything else that come up to and

474
00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:18.319
<v Speaker 1>I say, doctor Lynn, You're just you're so balanced and

475
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:21.599
<v Speaker 1>you're so spiritual. Da da da, And I say to them, yes,

476
00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:25.480
<v Speaker 1>and I'm teaching, But do remember I have a husband,

477
00:27:25.559 --> 00:27:28.119
<v Speaker 1>I have children, I have grandchildren, I have things in

478
00:27:28.160 --> 00:27:31.359
<v Speaker 1>my life, and my life can get you know, and

479
00:27:31.599 --> 00:27:34.720
<v Speaker 1>I just have to remind myself to come back to

480
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:38.039
<v Speaker 1>this place. I'm human, just like all of you, and

481
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:41.519
<v Speaker 1>we all I mean, I still make mistakes, you know,

482
00:27:41.640 --> 00:27:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, that's part of life. Nobody has all the answers.

483
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:49.799
<v Speaker 1>I will say, as you're mature, and I can say

484
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:53.359
<v Speaker 1>that because I'm seventy three, so I've been down the road.

485
00:27:53.839 --> 00:27:57.279
<v Speaker 1>As you mature and in life, you do take a

486
00:27:57.279 --> 00:28:01.720
<v Speaker 1>different perspective on things, and wisdom is about and wisdom

487
00:28:01.759 --> 00:28:06.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't come without experience. You have to have experience in

488
00:28:06.759 --> 00:28:09.240
<v Speaker 1>like both the good in the band can't be all

489
00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:11.680
<v Speaker 1>yeah yeah wow.

490
00:28:12.039 --> 00:28:14.759
<v Speaker 2>Well even when you went back to the and it's

491
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.359
<v Speaker 2>interesting with the title of the podcast, even having the

492
00:28:17.400 --> 00:28:22.160
<v Speaker 2>word master this idea of like mastery of something, of anything,

493
00:28:22.519 --> 00:28:25.799
<v Speaker 2>that there are certain qualifications or things that you need

494
00:28:25.839 --> 00:28:28.240
<v Speaker 2>to move through, like you listed to get there, but

495
00:28:28.319 --> 00:28:32.240
<v Speaker 2>also this idea that it's almost unattainable in some ways,

496
00:28:32.359 --> 00:28:36.319
<v Speaker 2>you know, if like it's a constant pursuit and it's

497
00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:39.759
<v Speaker 2>a passion and a daily discipline and a devotion, an

498
00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:43.400
<v Speaker 2>aim target that you can be going for, but one

499
00:28:43.480 --> 00:28:47.759
<v Speaker 2>that maybe you'll never truly hit. And I like this

500
00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:51.759
<v Speaker 2>idea of karma yoga being in the daily living, the

501
00:28:51.839 --> 00:28:56.160
<v Speaker 2>daily actions and interactions that we have with ourselves and

502
00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:59.799
<v Speaker 2>other people of any circumstance or situation that's happening. It's like,

503
00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:02.279
<v Speaker 2>what are you going to do with this cause the

504
00:29:02.319 --> 00:29:05.519
<v Speaker 2>thing that's happening to you and your effect being either

505
00:29:05.640 --> 00:29:09.599
<v Speaker 2>your reaction or your response one without awareness or one

506
00:29:09.640 --> 00:29:12.680
<v Speaker 2>with awareness. I think it's just making it really practical

507
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:16.319
<v Speaker 2>and just in the live everyday living well.

508
00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:19.920
<v Speaker 1>We have tremendous power and we give our power away

509
00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:23.000
<v Speaker 1>all the time. You know. We have power over what

510
00:29:23.079 --> 00:29:25.720
<v Speaker 1>we think and what we say and what we do.

511
00:29:26.359 --> 00:29:28.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's really the whole thing. Be aware of what

512
00:29:28.759 --> 00:29:30.680
<v Speaker 1>you think, what you say, and what you do because

513
00:29:30.680 --> 00:29:33.759
<v Speaker 1>it defines you. That's who you are, you are, that

514
00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:36.599
<v Speaker 1>is what you know. And so it's very important to

515
00:29:36.680 --> 00:29:40.119
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to those things. And it's not easy. I mean,

516
00:29:40.160 --> 00:29:44.000
<v Speaker 1>we all have mouths that things fly out of, you

517
00:29:44.039 --> 00:29:46.960
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, that's life, you know, and then

518
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.799
<v Speaker 1>you're like, ohs, why did I you know, but it's

519
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:53.720
<v Speaker 1>are you aware, are you able to pull back and

520
00:29:53.839 --> 00:29:55.920
<v Speaker 1>are you to work on it within yourself or do

521
00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:58.599
<v Speaker 1>you take that little index finger out and point point

522
00:29:58.680 --> 00:30:01.119
<v Speaker 1>point point point. That's the you go pointing out you know,

523
00:30:01.319 --> 00:30:03.240
<v Speaker 1>well you did this and you did that, you know,

524
00:30:03.279 --> 00:30:07.000
<v Speaker 1>and rather than coming back and taking responsibility for yourself.

525
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:13.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So then with the idea of inadvertently or in

526
00:30:13.960 --> 00:30:18.119
<v Speaker 2>seasons where you were really triggered or reacting or super

527
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:21.160
<v Speaker 2>stressed out, and you respond or you react to your

528
00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:25.079
<v Speaker 2>life in a way that quote unquote was uncarmic or

529
00:30:25.200 --> 00:30:28.079
<v Speaker 2>not not from your most highest self, not from your

530
00:30:28.079 --> 00:30:31.960
<v Speaker 2>most enlightened being. What is is there a process of

531
00:30:32.440 --> 00:30:36.640
<v Speaker 2>getting redemption for that? Or is there a way that

532
00:30:36.680 --> 00:30:39.720
<v Speaker 2>you can like burn up the bad karma so to speak,

533
00:30:40.119 --> 00:30:45.200
<v Speaker 2>and wipe your slate clean in some ways? Or what is?

534
00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Is there is there is that? Does that process exist? Or?

535
00:30:47.640 --> 00:30:48.519
<v Speaker 2>From your perspective?

536
00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:54.039
<v Speaker 1>No, Well, if if I'm angry and I'm I'm charged

537
00:30:54.079 --> 00:30:56.440
<v Speaker 1>with anger and I'm shooting that anger out at someone,

538
00:30:56.799 --> 00:30:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm carrying the anger. I'm carrying the emotion. And we

539
00:30:59.519 --> 00:31:02.119
<v Speaker 1>all know what anger feels like. I mean, it just

540
00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:04.519
<v Speaker 1>charges you up inside and everything goes, you know, the

541
00:31:04.799 --> 00:31:08.000
<v Speaker 1>higher you let it go. It's awareness of that and

542
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:11.680
<v Speaker 1>awareness of what it's doing to me at the moment.

543
00:31:12.000 --> 00:31:14.599
<v Speaker 1>And do I really want to carry that energy? And

544
00:31:14.640 --> 00:31:17.559
<v Speaker 1>can I pull that energy back? And every time I

545
00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:20.680
<v Speaker 1>pull that energy back and I bring it back to

546
00:31:20.720 --> 00:31:24.440
<v Speaker 1>a balance place, I'm working my karma. And it's like

547
00:31:24.599 --> 00:31:27.480
<v Speaker 1>cleansing every time, you know, I cleanse myself a little bit,

548
00:31:27.480 --> 00:31:30.559
<v Speaker 1>and then maybe the anger comes up again and I

549
00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.559
<v Speaker 1>temper it, and I keep tempering it and tempering it,

550
00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and eventually it isn't there now you know that takes

551
00:31:38.640 --> 00:31:41.640
<v Speaker 1>tremendous work to do that, but it all comes back

552
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.839
<v Speaker 1>to it's all about you and how you are moving

553
00:31:45.960 --> 00:31:50.279
<v Speaker 1>through this world. You can't control anybody else, you can't

554
00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:55.359
<v Speaker 1>make anybody else aware, but you can do your work,

555
00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:57.000
<v Speaker 1>and that's karma.

556
00:31:57.240 --> 00:31:59.440
<v Speaker 2>It actually makes me think a lot of meta meditation

557
00:32:00.200 --> 00:32:04.119
<v Speaker 2>in the sense of I'm sure you're somewhat familiar with it,

558
00:32:04.160 --> 00:32:06.960
<v Speaker 2>but if maybe listeners who aren't familiar with it, these

559
00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:12.160
<v Speaker 2>stages of trying to generate feelings of loving kindness, even

560
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:17.599
<v Speaker 2>compassion and forgiveness for yourself of any deeds that you've

561
00:32:17.640 --> 00:32:21.720
<v Speaker 2>done for strangers, maybe just people that you don't know,

562
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:26.000
<v Speaker 2>and then also for people who have wronged you. And

563
00:32:26.039 --> 00:32:31.960
<v Speaker 2>it's that phase of meta meditation of sending loving kindness, compassion,

564
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:38.720
<v Speaker 2>forgiveness to people who have wronged you that is really challenging.

565
00:32:39.079 --> 00:32:42.519
<v Speaker 2>But it's also recognizing in some of the or I

566
00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.599
<v Speaker 2>guess to your point that you're the one that's sitting

567
00:32:45.599 --> 00:32:48.799
<v Speaker 2>there feeling the feelings of wrong, of hurt, of anger,

568
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:51.799
<v Speaker 2>And it's that cliche of like, are you wanting to

569
00:32:51.839 --> 00:32:55.440
<v Speaker 2>continue to take that poison or is there a cliche?

570
00:32:55.480 --> 00:32:56.880
<v Speaker 2>I feel like there's a quote in there that's like

571
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:02.799
<v Speaker 2>anger is just drinking poison something like that, and that

572
00:33:02.880 --> 00:33:07.119
<v Speaker 2>you're the one who's constantly living with that in your body,

573
00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:11.160
<v Speaker 2>and so you're the one that's getting consistently hurt by it.

574
00:33:11.920 --> 00:33:16.039
<v Speaker 2>And so it's like you understand it in your mind,

575
00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:18.759
<v Speaker 2>but to actually do it sometimes, like you said, it's

576
00:33:18.880 --> 00:33:21.440
<v Speaker 2>much harder to actually do because in some ways, I'm

577
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:24.000
<v Speaker 2>sure a lot of people feel like to forgive or

578
00:33:24.039 --> 00:33:26.920
<v Speaker 2>to really let that go would mean letting the other

579
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:29.720
<v Speaker 2>person off the hook. So do you have anything to

580
00:33:29.799 --> 00:33:32.160
<v Speaker 2>say to that of like, in instances when you have

581
00:33:32.279 --> 00:33:34.599
<v Speaker 2>been really wronged or when you feel really hurt and

582
00:33:34.640 --> 00:33:37.720
<v Speaker 2>you theoretically understand, like I'm the one that's taking my

583
00:33:37.759 --> 00:33:41.440
<v Speaker 2>own poison, what do you do in those moments?

584
00:33:42.079 --> 00:33:45.599
<v Speaker 1>I choose not to. There are four great passions in

585
00:33:45.640 --> 00:33:48.519
<v Speaker 1>the world, Yoga teaches us, and everything comes from these

586
00:33:48.559 --> 00:33:54.160
<v Speaker 1>four great passions, and they are deceit, greed, anger, and pride.

587
00:33:54.640 --> 00:33:56.880
<v Speaker 1>And if you really take one step back, you will

588
00:33:56.880 --> 00:33:59.720
<v Speaker 1>see that everything comes from those. So let's take anger

589
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:02.559
<v Speaker 1>for example. I don't choose to want to carry around

590
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:07.720
<v Speaker 1>the emotional passion of anger. It's not something I want

591
00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:10.519
<v Speaker 1>my life to carry through with my life. So if

592
00:34:10.559 --> 00:34:15.199
<v Speaker 1>a person makes brings that to me, my role is

593
00:34:15.360 --> 00:34:19.760
<v Speaker 1>to work on it within myself. That doesn't mean that

594
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:25.280
<v Speaker 1>I have to acknowledge that other person. I am free

595
00:34:25.320 --> 00:34:29.199
<v Speaker 1>to remove myself from their toxic energy because it is toxic.

596
00:34:29.360 --> 00:34:31.519
<v Speaker 1>It's coming. If someone is coming at me and they're

597
00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:33.320
<v Speaker 1>coming at me and they're jabbing at me and they're

598
00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:36.840
<v Speaker 1>trying to get under my skin, you know that's a

599
00:34:36.880 --> 00:34:40.519
<v Speaker 1>toxic person and I don't need to be in that.

600
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I bless them and wish them silently to myself, you

601
00:34:47.760 --> 00:34:50.519
<v Speaker 1>know a good path in life. But then I remove

602
00:34:50.599 --> 00:34:56.360
<v Speaker 1>myself because I don't. You don't keep yourself in situations

603
00:34:56.360 --> 00:34:59.039
<v Speaker 1>that keep bringing that up if you're not going to

604
00:34:59.039 --> 00:35:00.000
<v Speaker 1>deal with it yourself.

605
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:05.199
<v Speaker 2>I think the fine line too, of in instances when

606
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:10.239
<v Speaker 2>somebody has wronged you, of forgiving and moving on, but

607
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:14.920
<v Speaker 2>at the same time establishing certain boundaries so that there

608
00:35:15.039 --> 00:35:20.239
<v Speaker 2>is new protocols moving forward. I'm thinking of a very personal,

609
00:35:20.400 --> 00:35:22.599
<v Speaker 2>intimate and like vulnerable thing that I feel like I'm

610
00:35:22.639 --> 00:35:27.000
<v Speaker 2>still dealing with and navigating in family relationships where there

611
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:32.760
<v Speaker 2>has been deceit and tremendous anger and lots of scarring

612
00:35:33.480 --> 00:35:37.239
<v Speaker 2>in the family and wanting to continue on with life,

613
00:35:37.280 --> 00:35:39.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, wanting there to still somewhat be a relationship,

614
00:35:40.320 --> 00:35:43.159
<v Speaker 2>but knowing that that relationship needs to have boundaries to

615
00:35:43.239 --> 00:35:46.840
<v Speaker 2>keep everybody safe. And how difficult that can be because

616
00:35:46.880 --> 00:35:50.639
<v Speaker 2>it doesn't feel like you forgive and forget because you

617
00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:53.679
<v Speaker 2>need to remember but proceed with these new boundaries and

618
00:35:53.719 --> 00:35:57.000
<v Speaker 2>these new actions. So yeah, I do you have anything

619
00:35:57.000 --> 00:36:01.880
<v Speaker 2>to say about that of forgiving yet also installing new

620
00:36:01.920 --> 00:36:06.280
<v Speaker 2>boundaries and what that is that really forgiving if you

621
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:09.440
<v Speaker 2>have to have these certain new rules in place.

622
00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Well, you just said it. You don't forget. It's not

623
00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:18.920
<v Speaker 1>about forgetting. There's a big difference between forgetting and forgiving.

624
00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:23.400
<v Speaker 1>And when you forgive a person, you're really freeing yourself

625
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:26.559
<v Speaker 1>up because you're really not carrying that energy with you.

626
00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:31.320
<v Speaker 1>But you don't forget, you know, because that person can.

627
00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:36.159
<v Speaker 1>You know, you have to draw those boundaries and in

628
00:36:36.320 --> 00:36:39.840
<v Speaker 1>not forgetting, you also have to look at that person

629
00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:42.559
<v Speaker 1>in what we call and I use this term and

630
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:45.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't mean it derogatory, but we call it ignorance

631
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and we call it that this person is you have

632
00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:51.000
<v Speaker 1>to look at them and say, this person hasn't a

633
00:36:51.320 --> 00:36:56.400
<v Speaker 1>clue and most people who are living a very negative path,

634
00:36:56.559 --> 00:37:00.599
<v Speaker 1>who are very angry. Most people haven't a clue they're

635
00:37:00.880 --> 00:37:06.000
<v Speaker 1>the ones that's causing the problem. They don't, and so

636
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:10.280
<v Speaker 1>they're ignorant to their own energy, their own things. So

637
00:37:10.360 --> 00:37:15.400
<v Speaker 1>you can't change that someone's ignorance. They have to do

638
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:20.159
<v Speaker 1>that themselves. They have to become aware themselves. And so

639
00:37:20.320 --> 00:37:25.079
<v Speaker 1>it's not my job to do that. My job, according

640
00:37:25.079 --> 00:37:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to Karma, is to do what I can for myself,

641
00:37:27.480 --> 00:37:32.320
<v Speaker 1>to walk my karmic path, and everyone that I encounter

642
00:37:32.480 --> 00:37:34.559
<v Speaker 1>on my karmic path to see if I can make

643
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:37.760
<v Speaker 1>their life a little better, make the world a little better,

644
00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:40.519
<v Speaker 1>even if it's only just a tiny, tiny, one little

645
00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:44.039
<v Speaker 1>thing I said in class that made one person feel

646
00:37:44.079 --> 00:37:47.440
<v Speaker 1>better or made someone become aware that day. I've done

647
00:37:47.519 --> 00:37:53.480
<v Speaker 1>my work. So it's not grandiose. It's really very very simple.

648
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:56.199
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And I like how you're bringing it back to

649
00:37:56.599 --> 00:38:00.280
<v Speaker 2>what's our responsibility and what's our role, what's our job?

650
00:38:00.719 --> 00:38:03.559
<v Speaker 2>And too. There was this video that I saw years

651
00:38:03.559 --> 00:38:07.880
<v Speaker 2>ago that was a cartoon and it's kind of about

652
00:38:08.199 --> 00:38:11.800
<v Speaker 2>somebody maneuvering through their life and giving hugs. And when

653
00:38:11.840 --> 00:38:16.559
<v Speaker 2>this person gives hugs to different people, they're absorbing somebody's

654
00:38:16.599 --> 00:38:20.760
<v Speaker 2>like energy and turning colors. And I remember thinking that

655
00:38:20.800 --> 00:38:25.119
<v Speaker 2>there was something wrong with that imagery of It's like,

656
00:38:25.159 --> 00:38:29.760
<v Speaker 2>it's not our responsibility to fix somebody else or you know,

657
00:38:30.639 --> 00:38:33.920
<v Speaker 2>change or alter their timeline, do their work for them.

658
00:38:34.559 --> 00:38:38.599
<v Speaker 2>And I just really I'm grateful for your reminder that

659
00:38:38.639 --> 00:38:40.800
<v Speaker 2>we can really it's our responsibility to take care of

660
00:38:40.840 --> 00:38:44.199
<v Speaker 2>our own karma, and that that is often whenever we

661
00:38:44.320 --> 00:38:47.079
<v Speaker 2>notice ourselves caught up in a lot of suffering, that

662
00:38:47.159 --> 00:38:50.039
<v Speaker 2>maybe it's an indication or feedback that we are making.

663
00:38:50.159 --> 00:38:54.880
<v Speaker 2>We're taking on that responsibility of trying to fix or

664
00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:58.760
<v Speaker 2>manage or handle somebody else's karma instead of our own.

665
00:38:59.679 --> 00:39:02.119
<v Speaker 1>Right, I mean, we're all individuals and we're all on

666
00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:07.199
<v Speaker 1>our own karmic path and sometimes you don't necessarily have

667
00:39:07.239 --> 00:39:09.360
<v Speaker 1>to solve it in this lifetime. Maybe you're going to

668
00:39:09.400 --> 00:39:11.440
<v Speaker 1>go through this lifetime and you're going to have it's

669
00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:13.159
<v Speaker 1>going to be a really rough life that you're going

670
00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:18.119
<v Speaker 1>to go through. But according to karma reincarnation, you get

671
00:39:18.159 --> 00:39:20.480
<v Speaker 1>to come back and do it again. You keep coming

672
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:24.159
<v Speaker 1>back at a different level. That is what reincarnation means.

673
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:27.639
<v Speaker 1>So it you know, who are we to judge, and

674
00:39:27.679 --> 00:39:30.960
<v Speaker 1>that's where Karma says, you're not to judge. Who are

675
00:39:30.960 --> 00:39:35.840
<v Speaker 1>we to judge a person's path in life? You know

676
00:39:35.920 --> 00:39:38.519
<v Speaker 1>we are you know, there's enough work to pay attention

677
00:39:38.599 --> 00:39:42.159
<v Speaker 1>to your own path. You know, come back and pay

678
00:39:42.199 --> 00:39:44.360
<v Speaker 1>attention to this this one because it's a lot of

679
00:39:44.360 --> 00:39:47.400
<v Speaker 1>work being a human being. There's a lot of vulnerability

680
00:39:47.440 --> 00:39:50.280
<v Speaker 1>out there. It takes a lot to walk the human path.

681
00:39:50.920 --> 00:39:53.960
<v Speaker 1>And so that's what I try to remind my students is,

682
00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:57.559
<v Speaker 1>you know, come back to yourself and realize that everybody

683
00:39:57.639 --> 00:40:00.639
<v Speaker 1>is on their own path, and you might not agree

684
00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:04.440
<v Speaker 1>with the path that's person is, but that's not about you.

685
00:40:05.199 --> 00:40:07.440
<v Speaker 2>That was really powerful what you shared about the four

686
00:40:07.639 --> 00:40:09.719
<v Speaker 2>what did you call them? The four desires?

687
00:40:09.760 --> 00:40:11.239
<v Speaker 1>Now for great passions?

688
00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:14.480
<v Speaker 2>For great passions? Amazing. Thank you for teaching all of

689
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:18.320
<v Speaker 2>us that, are there any other rules within this karma

690
00:40:18.480 --> 00:40:22.360
<v Speaker 2>conversation that would be a value or useful for yoga

691
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:24.920
<v Speaker 2>teachers to hear, because I don't think I'd ever heard

692
00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:26.880
<v Speaker 2>it presented in that way. So is there any other

693
00:40:26.960 --> 00:40:30.159
<v Speaker 2>like law of karma within it that would be helpful?

694
00:40:30.400 --> 00:40:33.239
<v Speaker 1>Well? Karma teaches us that when we get into trouble,

695
00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:36.679
<v Speaker 1>especially when we're dealing with the passions. Is when we

696
00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:40.960
<v Speaker 1>there are four things that we block. When we block knowledge,

697
00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:43.880
<v Speaker 1>we stop learning, we stop being open, and that has

698
00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:47.920
<v Speaker 1>to do with flexibility and openness, you know, and so

699
00:40:47.920 --> 00:40:54.000
<v Speaker 1>we get prejudice, we get biased, we stop right there

700
00:40:54.079 --> 00:40:56.960
<v Speaker 1>rather than being open and flowing. So that's one thing

701
00:40:57.639 --> 00:41:03.000
<v Speaker 1>when we block our vittality. It's very important to stay

702
00:41:03.079 --> 00:41:06.039
<v Speaker 1>vital and strong, and we do that. That is going

703
00:41:06.119 --> 00:41:09.639
<v Speaker 1>to that's going to make your karmic walk very difficult

704
00:41:09.840 --> 00:41:12.679
<v Speaker 1>if you're not taking care of your health. So don't

705
00:41:12.719 --> 00:41:17.440
<v Speaker 1>block that. We should not block feelings because feelings are real,

706
00:41:17.599 --> 00:41:21.119
<v Speaker 1>and feelings are in order to be a human being,

707
00:41:21.199 --> 00:41:23.840
<v Speaker 1>you have to be willing to experience all of the

708
00:41:23.880 --> 00:41:27.440
<v Speaker 1>emotions and all the experiences of life that is human life.

709
00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:29.719
<v Speaker 1>So if you want to have happiness, you have to

710
00:41:29.760 --> 00:41:33.880
<v Speaker 1>have sadness. You have to experience both of those. And

711
00:41:33.960 --> 00:41:38.800
<v Speaker 1>so it's not blocking feelings and then finally not blocking

712
00:41:39.000 --> 00:41:43.000
<v Speaker 1>your sense of free will and understanding that we have

713
00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:47.880
<v Speaker 1>the free will to choose. I can choose the path

714
00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:52.199
<v Speaker 1>I want to take in life, and it's very important

715
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:54.880
<v Speaker 1>to be able to not block those things. You'll get

716
00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:57.039
<v Speaker 1>into trouble every time you block them.

717
00:41:57.159 --> 00:41:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Yes, And it's so such a great reminder and it's

718
00:41:59.440 --> 00:42:03.519
<v Speaker 2>also very empowering that you have, like you're saying power

719
00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:07.679
<v Speaker 2>in all of this power of choice. And just this

720
00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:10.760
<v Speaker 2>morning in my class, I'll share this imagery just because

721
00:42:10.920 --> 00:42:14.480
<v Speaker 2>it's relevant for me, and it also seems reflective, maybe

722
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:17.119
<v Speaker 2>just a different lens of this conversation, looking through a

723
00:42:17.119 --> 00:42:20.039
<v Speaker 2>different way. But I shared the parable of I believe

724
00:42:20.079 --> 00:42:24.039
<v Speaker 2>it was a Chinese parable where there's this man who's

725
00:42:24.159 --> 00:42:30.039
<v Speaker 2>running from his shadow because he's so unnerved by the

726
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:32.719
<v Speaker 2>image of the shadow and also by the sound of

727
00:42:32.760 --> 00:42:35.920
<v Speaker 2>his own footsteps. So he thinks his solution is to

728
00:42:35.960 --> 00:42:40.320
<v Speaker 2>just keep running faster, longer, harder, But at the end

729
00:42:40.320 --> 00:42:44.960
<v Speaker 2>of his life, he just crashes and dies of exhaustion

730
00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:48.679
<v Speaker 2>because he just kept running away from himself, never really

731
00:42:48.719 --> 00:42:52.519
<v Speaker 2>thinking that the truer solution is to just sit down

732
00:42:53.039 --> 00:42:56.360
<v Speaker 2>under the shade and then the shadow and the sound

733
00:42:56.400 --> 00:42:59.119
<v Speaker 2>of the footsteps go away. And it's just this powerful

734
00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:02.880
<v Speaker 2>imagery that helps us recognize that really our work is

735
00:43:03.000 --> 00:43:08.000
<v Speaker 2>becoming more comfortable with sitting with ourselves, you know, turning

736
00:43:08.000 --> 00:43:11.599
<v Speaker 2>around and facing the darkness, the shadow, the thing that

737
00:43:12.480 --> 00:43:16.440
<v Speaker 2>gives us so much fear and anxiety and learning to

738
00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:20.599
<v Speaker 2>grow our capacity to sit in that discomfort that then

739
00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:23.320
<v Speaker 2>we free ourselves. Do you have anything that you want

740
00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:25.840
<v Speaker 2>to tack onto that, because that imagery just is coming

741
00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:27.400
<v Speaker 2>through with everything that we're talking about.

742
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:29.960
<v Speaker 1>For me, well, I would say we all, none of

743
00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:34.679
<v Speaker 1>us get through life without some obstacles and challenges. That's life,

744
00:43:35.079 --> 00:43:39.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, And you know what you see sometimes, you know,

745
00:43:39.360 --> 00:43:43.400
<v Speaker 1>if you if people don't know me, for example, you know,

746
00:43:43.559 --> 00:43:45.599
<v Speaker 1>they see where I live in my life and they

747
00:43:45.599 --> 00:43:47.960
<v Speaker 1>would think, wow, Lin's had a really you know, and

748
00:43:48.000 --> 00:43:50.599
<v Speaker 1>I do. I love a very wonderful life. But you know,

749
00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:53.639
<v Speaker 1>I was a single mother with two children, broke, had

750
00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:57.039
<v Speaker 1>no money. I mean, I put myself through school as

751
00:43:57.039 --> 00:44:00.239
<v Speaker 1>a single I struggled terribly. I went through a lot

752
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:04.280
<v Speaker 1>of difficult times. I was, you know, adopted as a child.

753
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:06.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, I could go on and on about things

754
00:44:06.039 --> 00:44:09.440
<v Speaker 1>like that. And you have those challenges and then it's

755
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:12.280
<v Speaker 1>what you do with those. You know, you can sit

756
00:44:12.360 --> 00:44:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and oh, sorry me, or you can look at them

757
00:44:15.559 --> 00:44:19.119
<v Speaker 1>and they're all opportunities to learn and grow when you

758
00:44:19.280 --> 00:44:22.760
<v Speaker 1>switch your mind to whatever comes to me is an

759
00:44:22.800 --> 00:44:25.440
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to learn and grow and I'm going to look

760
00:44:25.480 --> 00:44:27.920
<v Speaker 1>for that in it. I'm going to look for that seed.

761
00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.079
<v Speaker 1>We want to go back to the seeds in there,

762
00:44:30.119 --> 00:44:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'm going to learn from that. That's when your

763
00:44:32.920 --> 00:44:37.760
<v Speaker 1>life changes completely. And that's you know, that's the whole,

764
00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:38.320
<v Speaker 1>it's the whole.

765
00:44:38.400 --> 00:44:43.440
<v Speaker 2>Key Yeah, am men. Amen. Well, just congratulations for doing that,

766
00:44:43.639 --> 00:44:47.679
<v Speaker 2>for facing all of that mess. And there's that cliche

767
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:50.119
<v Speaker 2>of like turning the mess into your message, and it

768
00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:53.800
<v Speaker 2>really seems like you've done that and that through this embodied,

769
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:56.760
<v Speaker 2>embodied work that you've done first in your life and

770
00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:59.880
<v Speaker 2>now sharing with other people, I'm sure that it's really profound, potent,

771
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:01.639
<v Speaker 2>powerful because you've locked the walk.

772
00:45:02.159 --> 00:45:05.280
<v Speaker 1>And that is the thing, you know, It's where I'm

773
00:45:05.320 --> 00:45:08.639
<v Speaker 1>coming from is if I can share, you know, with

774
00:45:08.719 --> 00:45:12.079
<v Speaker 1>other people, if I can enlighten one person, if I

775
00:45:12.079 --> 00:45:14.719
<v Speaker 1>can take a little load off a person, if I

776
00:45:14.760 --> 00:45:18.199
<v Speaker 1>can give them something, then that's my karma, that's my

777
00:45:18.480 --> 00:45:23.000
<v Speaker 1>path And the rewards are far more than any money.

778
00:45:22.760 --> 00:45:23.559
<v Speaker 2>You will ever get.

779
00:45:23.599 --> 00:45:26.079
<v Speaker 1>And I know you know this if you're really you know,

780
00:45:26.119 --> 00:45:29.280
<v Speaker 1>as a yoga teacher, really sincere yoga teacher, and you're

781
00:45:29.320 --> 00:45:33.000
<v Speaker 1>really teaching yoga, those moments when someone comes and throws

782
00:45:33.039 --> 00:45:35.719
<v Speaker 1>their arms around you. And I've had people cry. I've

783
00:45:35.719 --> 00:45:38.400
<v Speaker 1>had to I've sat after class and held someone while

784
00:45:38.400 --> 00:45:41.800
<v Speaker 1>they were sobbing. You know, those are the moments that

785
00:45:41.840 --> 00:45:43.960
<v Speaker 1>you go, this is why I do this, This is

786
00:45:43.960 --> 00:45:46.599
<v Speaker 1>why I do this. It's not because yoga teachers don't

787
00:45:46.639 --> 00:45:49.280
<v Speaker 1>make money. You don't make money be a yoga teacher,

788
00:45:49.599 --> 00:45:52.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, and you're not in it to make money.

789
00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:54.880
<v Speaker 1>But you're in it because it's a path that is

790
00:45:55.039 --> 00:45:58.880
<v Speaker 1>so so fulfilling in life, and you're doing something that's

791
00:45:58.960 --> 00:45:59.800
<v Speaker 1>helping other people.

792
00:46:00.039 --> 00:46:03.400
<v Speaker 2>It's karma, yes, one hundred percent back to service. And

793
00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:06.800
<v Speaker 2>it's so interesting. I mean, how much hang ups yoga

794
00:46:06.840 --> 00:46:10.400
<v Speaker 2>teachers have around receiving money and also how there is

795
00:46:10.440 --> 00:46:13.519
<v Speaker 2>this narrative of doing this work that you won't make money,

796
00:46:13.559 --> 00:46:16.440
<v Speaker 2>and learning how to how to do it in a

797
00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:18.880
<v Speaker 2>way where you can is also a huge message that

798
00:46:18.920 --> 00:46:22.760
<v Speaker 2>I try to inspire teachers with that it can be done,

799
00:46:22.800 --> 00:46:25.880
<v Speaker 2>but just not in the traditional model, and that when

800
00:46:25.880 --> 00:46:29.199
<v Speaker 2>it comes to the eightfold path, even prescribed by the

801
00:46:29.199 --> 00:46:32.320
<v Speaker 2>boot of like right living, of doing something in the

802
00:46:32.360 --> 00:46:37.320
<v Speaker 2>world that's right living, where it's advancing society and human

803
00:46:37.360 --> 00:46:41.639
<v Speaker 2>beings and human nature and drawing up are frequency and

804
00:46:41.760 --> 00:46:44.280
<v Speaker 2>energy as a collective. It's like yoga, teaching is where

805
00:46:44.280 --> 00:46:47.599
<v Speaker 2>it's at. This is this is right living and right work.

806
00:46:48.239 --> 00:46:50.599
<v Speaker 2>There could be a more better thing to be paid

807
00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:55.920
<v Speaker 2>for that's in service of greater humanity. So yeah, I

808
00:46:56.079 --> 00:46:56.800
<v Speaker 2>just had to say.

809
00:46:56.679 --> 00:47:00.840
<v Speaker 1>That, and I will tell you that things so you know,

810
00:47:00.880 --> 00:47:03.840
<v Speaker 1>things have always come to me. That's what I you know,

811
00:47:04.119 --> 00:47:07.000
<v Speaker 1>things always come. I mean, I'm a very fortunate woman,

812
00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:09.599
<v Speaker 1>a woman, I have beautiful people in my life. I've

813
00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:13.079
<v Speaker 1>traveled the world, I live, you know. It just you

814
00:47:13.159 --> 00:47:15.199
<v Speaker 1>go out there and it's just amazing to me the

815
00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:19.239
<v Speaker 1>energy You'll come along and there's an opportunity and things happen,

816
00:47:19.719 --> 00:47:22.119
<v Speaker 1>you know. And it's not that I'm setting out to

817
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:25.679
<v Speaker 1>try to you know, make money. That that's the goal,

818
00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:28.159
<v Speaker 1>you know, that dollar. It's that you put the energy

819
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:30.480
<v Speaker 1>out and it comes back to you and it comes

820
00:47:30.519 --> 00:47:34.920
<v Speaker 1>back a hundred times over, you know, And that's to me,

821
00:47:35.199 --> 00:47:37.360
<v Speaker 1>is the most important thing in life. I mean, you know,

822
00:47:37.400 --> 00:47:40.840
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's a passion and I feel so I

823
00:47:40.880 --> 00:47:44.440
<v Speaker 1>feel like I tell my students, I'm the luckiest woman

824
00:47:44.480 --> 00:47:46.559
<v Speaker 1>in the world. Is I get to go and I

825
00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:49.360
<v Speaker 1>get to teach people, and I get to help people

826
00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:54.079
<v Speaker 1>stay healthy. What a great profession, right, agree?

827
00:47:54.079 --> 00:47:56.320
<v Speaker 2>And I completely agree, and just thank you so much

828
00:47:56.320 --> 00:47:58.159
<v Speaker 2>for everything that you've shared here. We haven't had an

829
00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:02.119
<v Speaker 2>episode I wanted to, really, it just was interesting and fascinating,

830
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:04.400
<v Speaker 2>but zeroing and on this idea of karmix. We haven't

831
00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:06.719
<v Speaker 2>talked too much about it on the podcast yet, So

832
00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:10.000
<v Speaker 2>I hope everybody learned something new from this conversation.

833
00:48:10.119 --> 00:48:10.880
<v Speaker 1>I know that I have.

834
00:48:11.280 --> 00:48:13.400
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything else that you wanted to say in

835
00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:15.679
<v Speaker 2>this realm or in this field, like if there was

836
00:48:16.159 --> 00:48:18.119
<v Speaker 2>a way to put a nice little bow on it

837
00:48:18.239 --> 00:48:21.400
<v Speaker 2>or a button around karma and energy and how you're

838
00:48:21.519 --> 00:48:24.599
<v Speaker 2>maneuvering through life. What else would you say just to

839
00:48:24.639 --> 00:48:25.840
<v Speaker 2>close us up here?

840
00:48:26.320 --> 00:48:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, I would say that the most important thing in

841
00:48:28.719 --> 00:48:31.360
<v Speaker 1>your life is your health. It is truly your wealth,

842
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:34.239
<v Speaker 1>and that is by mind and soul. You can't ignore

843
00:48:34.320 --> 00:48:37.639
<v Speaker 1>one nature. Opathy teaches us that all three must come

844
00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:41.159
<v Speaker 1>together and balance to have perfect health. So I would

845
00:48:41.199 --> 00:48:45.199
<v Speaker 1>say to people that your health is the most important

846
00:48:45.199 --> 00:48:47.519
<v Speaker 1>thing to focus on, and then if you can spread

847
00:48:47.519 --> 00:48:51.199
<v Speaker 1>that out and send that message to other people's that's

848
00:48:51.280 --> 00:48:52.679
<v Speaker 1>really what it's all about.

849
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:55.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, health is your greatest wealth.

850
00:48:56.800 --> 00:48:59.880
<v Speaker 1>It is. Lose it for a moment, you know. I

851
00:49:00.440 --> 00:49:03.760
<v Speaker 1>I teach my students, I say, okay, you got the

852
00:49:03.800 --> 00:49:06.840
<v Speaker 1>common cold. You lose you get a common cold, what happens?

853
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Oh you can't wait to get healthy? And oh, I

854
00:49:09.480 --> 00:49:12.440
<v Speaker 1>just you know, you really appreciate your health. Then you

855
00:49:12.480 --> 00:49:15.599
<v Speaker 1>get it and retake it for granted. Don't take it

856
00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:19.079
<v Speaker 1>for granted. Get up every day and bless that your

857
00:49:19.159 --> 00:49:21.800
<v Speaker 1>feet touched the floor, that you got up, that you

858
00:49:21.960 --> 00:49:24.840
<v Speaker 1>have the ability to do these things. There are many

859
00:49:24.880 --> 00:49:27.440
<v Speaker 1>people in the world. And I'll kind of finish with this.

860
00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:31.800
<v Speaker 1>I have my students, do you know a relaxation and

861
00:49:31.840 --> 00:49:35.039
<v Speaker 1>they're relaxing, and I will remind them that there are

862
00:49:35.079 --> 00:49:37.039
<v Speaker 1>people in the world that don't have the luxury of

863
00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:41.000
<v Speaker 1>these few minutes to just lay down and relax. There

864
00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:44.119
<v Speaker 1>are people that are living horrible lives in this world.

865
00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Appreciate that you have moments. Appreciate that you live in

866
00:49:49.039 --> 00:49:51.679
<v Speaker 1>a world where you can take this five minutes to

867
00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:53.639
<v Speaker 1>lay down on a map and breathe.

868
00:49:55.159 --> 00:50:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Amen that attitude of gratitude and what you appreciate, appreciate

869
00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:05.039
<v Speaker 2>she ates, and just changing changing the person that's looking

870
00:50:05.239 --> 00:50:07.639
<v Speaker 2>you know, it's like it's all about this self identity.

871
00:50:07.719 --> 00:50:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Identifying as someone who is blessed and grateful then changes everything,

872
00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:15.800
<v Speaker 2>you know it all that's the first domino to tip,

873
00:50:15.800 --> 00:50:19.239
<v Speaker 2>and it all just tumbles from there, like your beliefs

874
00:50:19.280 --> 00:50:22.639
<v Speaker 2>about your life and all that you've received and all

875
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:26.119
<v Speaker 2>the blessings that you have, even those challenging moments, those

876
00:50:26.159 --> 00:50:29.920
<v Speaker 2>pains were actually the portal to take you to this

877
00:50:30.000 --> 00:50:34.760
<v Speaker 2>new learning and choosing that mentality changes the thoughts that

878
00:50:34.800 --> 00:50:36.920
<v Speaker 2>you have, which then changes the actions that you take,

879
00:50:36.960 --> 00:50:39.159
<v Speaker 2>which then changes the life that you have. You know,

880
00:50:39.199 --> 00:50:42.519
<v Speaker 2>it all kind of tumbles from there. So thank you

881
00:50:42.639 --> 00:50:46.159
<v Speaker 2>so much, doctor Lynne. Yeah, that's karma, that's karma. You

882
00:50:46.239 --> 00:50:49.360
<v Speaker 2>are amazing. This conversation has been so life bringing for me.

883
00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:54.280
<v Speaker 2>I feel so grateful to have exchanged our energy here virtually,

884
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:57.960
<v Speaker 2>and I'm so happy that the listeners were able to

885
00:50:58.000 --> 00:51:00.400
<v Speaker 2>have some of that too. If they're loving everything that

886
00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:02.159
