Day 6 | 30 Day challengers | Dukkha, Suffering:
“When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That's the message he is sending.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh
Today I did the 12pm Moksha class. It was PACKED! There are only 3 classes on Saturdays so that probably explains why. Anyways there were 4 rows of about 10-12, so lots of people. The energy is different in the room when there are lots of people. I find that I am more connected to my breath because I can hear the breath of those around me. Their energy also helps me stay with a pose instead of bailing out of it. It's a really positive thing!
This quote really made me think. I need to think about this the next time someone is causing me to suffer. Instead of reacting defensively, or getting aggravated, maybe I should stop, take a minute, and think about why they're projecting this suffering onto me.
