I especially love the way you put it about using yoga for maintaining your personal peace while radiating compassion. To me, this is Highest Spiritual Truth summed up in fewer words than a Haiku.<br /> XO,<br /> JanetChironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04837109491637379048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3777347529383874160.post-70409459006916310272011-03-21T06:55:41.540-07:002011-03-21T06:55:41.540-07:00Gina,

This blog posting only captures a fraction of what I feel right now in Japan. The emotional ups and downs are difficult to express in words. But it makes me so happy to know that perhaps something I said had an influence on you or inspired you to hold Japan in your thoughts.

In Jivamukti yoga here in the city we are routinely devoting our classes to the people in Japan, and one teacher in particular, Satyavira, has really done an amazing job of bringing attention to what we can do to help. Thank you for this reminder of how we can and should continue to help.CommuterGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11876521265224056848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3777347529383874160.post-24743967641008025122011-03-20T00:00:34.019-07:002011-03-20T00:00:34.019-07:00Brenna that, too, was beautiful.
