This week with so much *Lov*e in the air (social media), I've been reminded and reflecting on the teachings on love according to the Yogi and Buddhist masters. We usually associate these dates (february 14th) to passionate love, which is the one we are taught from childhood or that we see as the only one that exists, but we leave aside other aspects of love that are **very important to build a great society and live harmoniously in this world**. In Eastern traditions, these aspects of universal love are called: Brahma Vihara (The divine abode) and it refers to four aspects of love that I would like to mention to keep in mind. - **Maitri (Kindness)** - **Karuna (Compassion)** - **Mudita (Joy)** - **Upeksha (Equanimity or Non-Discrimination)** In the *Yoga-Sutras of Patanjali*, the author says: > The mind is purified by cultivating attitudes of friendliness towards those who are happy, of compassion towards those who suffer, of joy before the virtuous and of equanimity before those who act wrongly. So, my invitation is to cultivate within our heart, in every moment, these four aspects in order to purify our mind and to be able to bring a universal love towards all beings without exception. ### Have you kept these four aspects in mind in your daily practice of Yoga and Meditation?

Other very interesting **posts** that I could find these days and that I invite you to read as well are those of: - @julescape and [**Doing versus being, in the search for and defence of truth**](https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@julescape/doing-versus-being-in-the-search-for-and-defence-of-truth), where he talks about the importance of being seekers of the truth in ourselves and his call to care for the ancient scriptures that allow us to obtain these teachings.
- @vicnzia and [**Flexibility, one of the benefits of yoga**](https://peakd.com/hive-120078/@vicnzia/la-flexibilidad-uno-de-los-beneficios-del-yoga-flexibility-one-of-the-benefits-of-yoga), Where she mentions some tips to improve flexibility such as not giving up and being constant in our practice, paying detailed attention to breathing and the harmonious work of the postures..-
