When something is worrying us, we may feel as if we are enclosed in a bubble. When the problem has been resolved, or the cause of the anxiety has been removed, then everything feels different. Suddenly we can make contact with the people around us again and appreciate the small daily events.
    Yoga and meditation can remove these bubbles – regardless of whether they arise from anxiety, ideals or self-indulgence – and prevent new ones forming. If you happen to adopt another “meditative pose”, then you end up in a new bubble that can inhibit your awareness and meditation and become a burden.
    The realization that you don’t need to live by ideals and poses, that you can depend on yourself, along with the understanding that meditation does not need props – is fundamental to our teaching, which is inspired by the Tantric tradition. .
