A yogi before you reported discontent with her practice and I can see why. When somebody expresses their practice as much as you did, other yogis will think that that’s meditation and when they don’t have those words to describe their meditation in detail it means that they’re not meditating. That’s not true.

We all have different words to describe our meditation, and it doesn’t mean that we’re not meditating or we’re not aware.

What we have to do is to recognize our own awareness; it is the awareness that matters. I know this and this is what I know. That’s good enough. We don’t have to use the big words for it to be meditation; just the way we know it is good enough. It is good for yogis to know this.

The group interviews lose out this way because we compare ourselves to someone else, and we never should.
