Svadhyaya is the 4th Niyama
Sva = "self" and Adhyaya = "examination"
Because we cannot always just sit down and contemplate things. We need reference points. For many this may be the Bible or a book that is of personal significance... The Heart of Yoga, T.K.V. Desikachar
...As long as you are trying your very best, there can be no question of failure.
Mahatma Gandhi
Yesterday I presented Svadhyaya with Wendy to our group of yoga-teacher-studiers. We decided that it would be nice to serve everyone tea.
Taking tea in a unique mug, with clean water, organic lemon and local honey is svadhyaya.
We are the mug, filled with water. Like lemons and honey; our lives are filled with the bitterness of attachments and the sweetness of love.
- Take some time to enjoy your tea.
