...the important act of doing nothing
Last night I participated in a Restorative Yoga Class. We did six postures and a guided meditation in two hours. It was a huge change of pace from the twenty six postures we do during a ninety minute Bikram Class.
Quieting the mind...slowing down the body...embracing the stillness...is much easier said than done.
At the end of class the instructor made an analogy. At this point I was pretty much in a relaxation coma, but this is what I took away from it...we are like lakes...on the surface, we can be calm or choppy depending on the season and the circumstances surrounding our lives at the time...but below the surface, we are calm.
This is something I will be mindful of moving forward.
