It seems odd to think this, but I am starting to wonder
if the Tantra-influence Yoga I study is a bit too “I’m okay, you’re okay”. Perhaps in the end I would find more meaning
in classical Yoga. None the less, I
believe I read in the Yoga Sutras somewhere that you should pick a path of
study and stick to it for several years, as it takes a long time to get into
the hidden depths of the practice where asana, meditation, and pranayama all
come together.
It’s just that Tantra has this, “hey man, just chill out and practice, all that live right Raja Yoga
stuff will come in time” attitude. I
keep thinking “the world is fucked up y’all
start better acting noble and proper right now!” Of course my profession is centered
around keeping people from acting like asses in their cars and from dying
stupidly; I think it’s bleeding over into my practice.
