Meditation
I realized the other day why meditation works so well. Not that I would personally know, since I've never been able to calm myself down and "breathe" long enough to actually call it such a thing. But, taking a shower the other day and having a million and one brilliant thoughts race through my head that I feel the need to immediately share like normal - I only wish I had a recorder in the shower - I realized taking a shower is a sort of meditation in and of itself. Your body is doing something that's completely routine. There's nothing new about it, and your mind is free to relax and pay attention to thoughts from your subconscious and come up with things you'd never thought of before. I swear I've become a millionaire in there. Now I just have to figure out how to get it out of the shower.

That's AT LEAST 50% of why I love yoga. It's my ME time. My time to escape the outside world and focus on breathing and enjoying myself and my body.
ReplyDeleteOf course it took a while to improve my practice enough to get to that point. In the beginning I thought, "how the HELL is this relaxing, calming and meditational??? This is the hardest thing I've ever done and all I can think about it the pain and not passing out!!"
Oh, and you ought to email Erica about meditation. She swears by it and can tell a huge difference in her life when she doesn't make time for it.
