Swagatika, this is a wonderful list of insights and I think you could expand it and publish it. Thank you for sharing these. I’ve loved reading different answers to this question – each of us brings so much to share and so much nuance and complexity. “To shape and contain flow” – I love this because I often adapt the arm position and drishti when I’m teaching yoga based on the energetic shifts I want to help my students accomplish during class. The energetic and intuitive insights you bring are invaluable.
