Letting go
In the yogic tradition, the practice of pratyahara teaches you to let go, through first facing up to your pain and entering into it. This requires determination.
We tend to defer things like this which have to do with our wellbeing, and it isn't difficult to find distractions in a city like London. People on the underground manage to listen to their ipods, read the newspaper and even answer their mobiles, all at the same time.
Pratyahara sounds difficult but, according to the Swedish swami Yanakananda, it can be practised anywhere. He tells the story of a shopkeeper in the busiest part of town, who could close his eyes at any time and enter into a deep rest within himself.
Do we dare to go against the idea that we have to achieve and that doing a lot of things at the same time makes us better people?
Squatting
I have met more squatters in London than I have in my whole life. That's not surprising because the rents here are extremely high and not everyone can afford them.
