Look at these flowers for a moment with quiet eyes. There is an incredible amount of stillness and space in this photo - as if the flowers have been embraced by the unchanging stillness of the space and they are transferring that stillness to the one who is looking at them. The looker has no choice but to calm down, relax, and become still.
Stillness inspires stillness.
Same thing can be said about a yogi holding a pose inside a stillness of an embracing space. She becomes still and transfers that to everyone else inside a studio space.
These flowers are just like a yogi in a deep meditation, complementing a pose. Look at them and see. Look at them and see your inseparability from them; all of us embraced and protected by one unchanging stillness. Look at them and see yourself looking back at your own self.
Seeing and recognizing yourself in everything, that is meditation.
