What do you do when someone is scolding you or shouting at you? The first impulse is to react, and then defend. This is especially true when it comes from people you are close to.
Well, how about doing nothing, when thus attacked? Just observing the turbulence in the chest, throat and head region, and being with that.
The other day at the Sri Sri Yoga Program we shared this beautiful knowledge:
Yoga Karmasu Kaushalam
Just as in any other activity, you need skill to go through life too - through all its pleasant and unpleasant phases. Being skillful means handling a situation with awareness, and without reacting. And making it better, not worse!
So developing this skill, and implementing it is YOGA.
So, how skillful are you in life, in relationships?
