The Yoga of Tenderness & Silence is Golden ~ How The Tao Te Ching teaches us Mindfulness

-The Value of Minimus

“Out beyond ideas of right doing and wrong doing there is a field I will meet you there” ~ Rumi.

This is a great verse from the Tao Te Ching which can remind us how we can practice our yoga. Practicing softening when resistance comes up. Who knows if we practice that over and over maybe we would not need to utter a word.

Verse 43 – The Value of Minimums

That which is most tender
Can overcome that which is most rigid
That which has lease substance
Can penetrate that which has least space.

Acting without deliberate action,
And teaching without uttering a word
Are rarely practiced.
So few find their way
To the Great Integrity!
