This book is the first one of the first yoga books I bought. Because it is very thin and easy to read, I took it as an introduction to yoga ~ I drew my own notes directly on the book, and now I can understand the meaning of these words again. Want to write it down for preservation, research and long-term taste:

1. A tree is well taken care of when it grows, and it will naturally blossom and bear fruit.

So is yoga practice. As long as you persevere, sooner or later, you will bloom the spiritual fragrance of freedom and happiness. The essence of trees lies in fruits, and the essence of our practice lies in freedom, tranquility, peace and happiness.

2. The so-called cleverness means more than cleverness. Being skillful means not expecting any good or bad results.

There is no distinction between good and evil in the actions of practitioners, but they are pure and holy. The situation in life is to promote our growth, not to destroy it.

4. When your body, mind and spirit are healthy and harmonious, you will bring health and harmony to the people around you and the world-you don't live in isolation, but become a healthy and living organization in human beings as a whole.

Ignorance and pride are intellectual defects, desire and disgust are emotional defects, and fear of death is instinctive defects.

6. It goes without saying that a certain genre of yoga is good or bad. We are all human beings created by the God of heaven and earth, and there is no difference between us. We are all one. Their essence is the same. We should explore the essence and not be misled by the name.

7. A delusional or hasty attitude may lead to mistakes-physical illness or mental disorder. So please take yoga practice as a part of your life and let it occupy a place in your daily life. We can reach infinity, but we must use the limited methods at hand. Everything is done occasionally, and the effect is only done occasionally. If the practice is not standardized, it is still effective, but the quality is not so good. Divine grace, if you can't get it all your life, keep practicing-at least you get health and happiness; Having health and happiness is a sacred grace in itself.

8. The mind plays three tricks: one is to want to do it, the other is to hesitate, and the third is to be afraid. 2b Same heart, but contradictory content. Our memory is also playing tricks, responding impulsively, and not giving a chance to think rationally. So the heart can be created or destroyed. The heart is destroying you while creating you. You must tell your heart to shut up-then you will learn.

9. If it doesn't rain, there will be drought and famine; If you don't practice yoga and water your body, you can only accept and prepare for death when your body is dry and hungry and you have an incurable disease. Why let your body dry when you have the ability to irrigate it? Yoga helps us keep our defense in the best condition, which is recognized as health.

10. If there is a mistake in practicing yoga, it is not the fault of yoga, but the learner's quick success. Everyone can practice yoga. I mean: you can do yoga, but be careful and know your own abilities. Yoga is in no hurry.
