As understanding opens, the illusory gap between body & mind closes.
(Sukhasana or easy pose is the most mentally and physically challenging pose for most people. The consciousness it calls forth for prolonged stillness has to be cultivated.)

Spirituality isn't about avoiding uncomfortable circumstances. It's about using them to heal the place
in you that made the situation uncomfortable.

What appears as your physical body is really your visible mind. As a primarily mental construct it is as elastic and amenable to healing and transformation as your mind.
(This dolphin pose variation is one that Ana Forrest calls Flash Prep. Finding equilibrium between the right and left sides with the asymmetrical shoulders and arms sparks all kinds of new awareness. It also dramatically wakes up the dormant areas in the chest. Super important to practice mindfully otherwise this pose becomes a very bad idea.)

You don't exist because you have a body; you have a body because you exist.
(Lifting legs in downward dog is a common thing in vinyasa flow classes. Because it's repeated many times its so important to do it mindfully. But its considered a no-brainer so it's rarely in the spotlight. One really simple thing you can do that corrects many misalignment habits is to maintain equilibrium between the right and left sides of your body when you lift the leg. Especially notice what happens in your hips, spine, and shoulders and restore balance in those areas and be sure to engage your abdominal muscles.)

My prospects for life depend greatly on which heritage I most choose to identify with - the material or the spiritual.
(Pictured is a wonderful supported variation of double pigeon or fire log pose. The full version with shins stacked is inaccessible for most people. Often in trying to force it the ankles sickle, causing misalignment in the knees and hips. The modification in the picture ensures you get all the benefits without any harmful side effects.)

When I have everything figured out I'll take the time to meditate. Or... When I take the time to meditate everything will figure itself out.
(This is proven to be over and over again, but I still forget.)
