Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Choosing to be happy

What is my perspective on the world? And how does it influence my ways of perceiving and being in the world?
When I follow my natural tendency to move toward feeling better and away from feeling pain, does my awareness increase?
Am I trying to manipulate the world to fit my expectations? Is this making me happy or unhappy?
Wanting the world to please our changing desires, opinions and beliefs guarantees that we will never be happy.

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: A mantra for presence

Our words influence our thoughts and perspective.

What words do you use frequently? Are those words useful to be present or are they potential distractors?
What happens when we replace our tendencies to predict and worry with the mantra Let's see?

Weaving the Yoga Sutra: Sensitivity and feedback

Are you noticing changes in your sensitivity?

Do you play internal games to override the common sense feedback you receive? Which do you trust more, the feedback sensitivity loop or your inner tendencies? What happens when you follow your sensitivity? What happens when you follow your tendencies? Do you recognize any of these tendencies in yourself? What are the tendencies you recognize in the society in which you live?
