Yoga and Dharma are not about abstract transcendence. Through practice we begin to value every aspect of ourselves and the world around us as sacred. In yoga, everything that is viewed as solid becomes absorbed into attention and then seen as contingent and constantly changing. In my own practice of meditation I’m replacing my youthful longing for transcendence with the craft of sitting in stillness and setting the body in just the right posture to allow the mind and nervous system to quiet and a deeper world to come forward, one free of endless craving and obsession. Undoing the social landscape of greed and distraction can only begin in one’s own body. ~ Michael Stone
