Open hands
The teaching
When non-grasping becomes steady, the sūtra says, understanding of the how and why of one's own life arises. Not as a reward for the practice — as the thing the practice was clearing space for.
— Yoga Sūtra 2.39
Today’s practice
Sit for ten minutes with your palms turned up on your knees. Don't meditate on anything. Let it be the posture of a hand that is not holding.
Sit with this
What is still in them?
