A thought passes sometime yes it would be nice to meditate.
Mats sprayed, cleaned rolled up, blocks set aside, we run to the next life event. And the next thought arises, ‘Is anyone looking?’ And finally, the 40 minute session is over. One moment you may think, ‘I am doing this posture well’. This posture is too long, the body hurts. The mind jumps from one thought to another. We rush into the yoga class, the asanas feel good and the sweat drips onto the mat. In the business and busy-ness of life, we often miss this simple truth. Yet, you’re with friends, singing, your mind is joyful you are at peace. You are out camping, with little luxury, you’ve been rained on, you’re soaking wet. On the other hand, the external circumstances could be miserable. Yet, you just had a fight with a loved one and your mind is in complete agitation.
All the external circumstances are perfect. Imagine for a moment, lying on a beautiful beach, in a luxury resort. The quality of our mind determines the quality of our life. But we can easily miss that the aim of yoga is not just great abs, butt, or even health benefits, but the stillness of the mind. Often at the end, of a yoga class we may experience some meditative rest.
