Today I convinced my wife to try Kriya Yoga.
On the one hand, her body doesn’t allow her to do much right now. On the other hand, there is a desire to develop and take on more workload than before.
I felt firsthand the teacher’s dilemma of how to give the maximum of what the student is capable of accepting.
If you give more, you may discourage desire or harm your body. Less - boring, interest decreases.
Here you need to feel the other person very subtly or give a range of options so that the student chooses the best one for himself, so that it is both a joy and not a detriment.
If there are several students, then you need to give something universal, then this is only a range.
But it’s not enough to give a range, you also need to give criteria for choosing from this range, such as: safety for health, a feeling of harmony, joy from doing or overcoming, internal and external sensations, etc.
But some may be lazy, and some will even hurt their foreheads.
I wonder if someone was working out from a video on YouTube and hurt themselves, whose negative karma is this? And the range of options, from “the instructor told to do a dangerous movement” to “the student missed the instructions and decided to kill himself against the wall.”
