Pure Learning is dedicated to designing learning experiences that foster reflection, authenticity, and personal growth. I love Desikachar’s translation of yoga sutra 2:27 by Patanjali because to me, it speaks to our need to commit to learning as a lifelong art and practice.  What we seek to learn or understand about ourselves and our place in the world is definitely something that takes time and grows and evolves over our lifetime.  Sometimes, the process is so gradual that we might not be aware of it.  Paying attention to all aspects of learning and reflecting on all things (whether we perceive them to be good or bad, positive or negative) is part of the process.  In other words, learning is not always easy – in fact, the things most worth learning are hard.  For me, quieting my mind is REALLY hard – I always seem to be thinking about something (usually multiple things at a time).  Finding those quiet moments is something that I have grown to really value because it enables me to better reflect on where I am at, even though I continue to have to work on it.  Developing self-awareness and a reflective attitude about life and learning is beneficial to us all and, I believe, our world, especially now that we are encouraged to be connected to our devices all the time.  I would love to share my love of  learning with you so that we can learn together!    Continue reading ““The attainment of clarity is a gradual process””
