Michael Stone - Awake In the World - On Samskaras and the Bodhisattva Vow


I'm not sure how I found this, but it's an interesting talk, especially for the Buddhist crowd. Michael Stone is a yoga teacher and Buddhist teacher. He travels internationally teaching about the intersection of Yoga, Buddhism and mental health. He has written four books with Shambhala Publications on ethics, yoga's subtle body, inner/outer pilgrimages, and the sometimes uneasy blend of social engagement and Buddhism. Please check out the website at www.centreofgravity.org. He is also a contributor at Elephant Journal.

The practice of yoga is a practice of intimacy. The process of reaching into the physical, psychological and other interdependent sheaths of the postures wakes us up to the intelligence of life.
Through becoming intimate with the breathing patterns, bandhas and stillness of meditative awareness we wake to our lives and realize the possibility of serving others. Yoga Philosophy and practice, juxtaposed with Buddhism and western Psychology gives us the tools for personal healing and social action.
