Insights by our class members

Are we reflective or reactive in uncomfortable moments?
Observe this without judging.
Know God is within all.

Tapas is the impetus "fire in the belly" to make change
and gives us the ability to act with intention.

Attachment to the idea that someone, something or some hoped for event
will change things is looking outside ourselves for this change.

Your practice is the bridge between who you are
and who you want to be...thanks Peter

"Kriya Yoga (change thru constructive actions/practice,
connecting within and surrender to the divine) is a way to burn
thru impurities of the heart/mind and change yourself permanently.
Tapas is deliberately acting in a way that causes"
positive change within yourself." ...Nicolai Bachman
