The Importance of Relating to the Past

All that past is encoded in the present symptom. And not just your personal past. Even though it's over it's recreating itself here. The best place to notice this is in the body. In yoga practice you start to open up naudis or meridians where the energy flows has not flowed, for example. So when something's arising that feels old be careful not to spend too much energy tracing it back and explain to yourself its roots.
