I’m still having trouble coming up with some profound insights about how I am growing and changing as a person doing this 30 day challenge. The only insight that I can come up with right now is that I’m not very self-aware and don’t really have any insights.
My only insights in class yesterday were, “Holy crap I’m hot” and “Why am I the only one in here who seems to be struggling with the heat?” and “I wonder if anyone would notice if I took my pants off?” (Just kidding about that last one.)
I may have the least quiet mind in the world. Do people really lie down during savasana and not think about anything? I mean I know it is the whole goal to let go of the outside world during practice, and I can do that when I’m struggling to maintain my balance or touch my toes, but just lying there? Off I go… “What’s for dinner?”…”Who still has homework to do?”….”Do I have another conference call tonight?”…”What needs to be done when I get home?…baths for kids?…laundry?…” On and on it goes as Sojun talks about maintaining stillness.
So….working on day 5 of the 30 day challenge and waiting for the promised stillness.

So what you do when those thoughts enter your mind is: acknowledge that they are there, and let them slide right on by. Don’t give them any time or attention. Just them the pass. Then think about your breath as is goes in and out. Listen to your breathing. Focus on your body and how it feels (other than really hot). Enjoy that moment of solitude, because there is none once you walk in our door 😉
