Happy New Year!
Patricia is back from India and has resumed the Tuesday night pre-class discussion.
This evening we chanted sutras 2.29-2.48 together.
Patricia pointed out that sutra 2.34 is an important sutra for meditation (and removing the obstacles that arise.)
She also pointed out the connection between sutras 2.42 and 2.43 and asked students to think about why these two sutras are put together.
We spent some time discussion sutra 2.44 on Svadyaya — self study and the forms that this can take: reading the scriptures, dealing with the psychological body (in therapy — not necessary for all, but very good for some people.)
We chanted sutras 2.46-2.48 together several times in a row and then chanted sutra 2.29, the eight limbs of astanga yoga.
