“There is virtue in work and there is virtue in rest. Use both and overlook neither.”
~ Alan Cohen
Like the swing of a pendulum, the ebb and flow of the tides, the waxing and waning of the moon, and the rising and setting of the sun, all of life is cyclical.
Honor the natural rhythms of life and work with them. Both your body and mind need the space and time for both work and rest. Each serves a purpose.
You know, my friend, this is the secret behind Bikram Yoga — why it’s so healing and effective at creating change. Appreciate the rest between each posture. Appreciate the final Savasana after the hard work of the whole class.
Exertion followed by relaxation… Make this your mantra for life!
