The Eyes

Since we were young, we were taught that we have five sense organs - eyes, ears, tongue, nose and skin.  The function of these sense organs is sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch.  Much of this function though is influenced by our emotions.  The next few blogs have been influenced by the article  "Functionality and Emotionality of the Senses", by Prashant S. Iyengar.

The blog today is on the eye which gives us the wonderful sense of sight.  The structure of the eye is amazing in how it perceives and receives information coming into it, to its ability to keep unwanted dust and debris out of the eye.

They are though most amazing in their ability to express emotions.  Prashant writes, "The eyes are called visual organs, but are often more powerful than the vocal organ.  One glance can express a world of emotions."

So, in your yoga practice today let the eyes remain in a state of dhyana, meditation, releasing any sign of worry.  Let them express peace, love, friendship and compassion.

Namaste.
