The focus for Days 41-50 of the 100 Days of Care is the ‘far-reaching’ attitude of Energy (Viriya Parami). The perfection of energy is a letting go of what is unwholesome and a leaning into or moving toward what is wholesome. These instructions for practice were given at Stream Yoga + Meditation on Nov 6, 2024.
