Honesty - the way to know your self intimately

Today I’m tired, so I abandoned my asana practice about half way through...stick with me....
In the ashtanga practice we’re working with a curiosity about the body and mind...what John Scott refers to as “an enquiry”. We’re working to be intimately connected with our true self because when we truly know our own self we can start to consciously choose how to live, we can choose love, openness and gratitude, we can be aware of our resistances and biases and not succumb to them and even transcend them.
This starts with an honesty about body and mind.
