Last night was Thursday Yoga Night. I walked into the yoga room with my mind obsessed with a particular person's impression on me. What he did, how it impacted me in this way or that, what I wanted to do.
I thought about it from top down, bottom up, and every other directions. Once I was done thinking about it that way, I dissected the big problem into smaller pieces, and then started the same process for those smaller pieces. I could not shake it off of me.
Jean started the yoga class with a very mild note. The whole class was effortless yet powerful. We did Vinyasa, and wew perfecting our worrier poses striving for relaxing the neck and shoulders. Then we did balancing poses, and I was so effortless and still. The whole class was harmonious and flowing naturally.
Slowly, I started to turn my mind inward. More and more I focused on me and my own practice. My body was so nurtured and my mind became so focused. It seems ridiculous for me to be so obsessed with a person, giving him so much power to consume me. I replaced my troubled mind with a big SELF.
I left the class with a big smile and was glowing when I got home!
