5.2.16- 6am

I have been reading a lot of mediation and mindfulness literature lately...I actually look forward to going home at lunch and reading my mindfulness book, it's very unlike me. Each day for the most part (although we all have bad days) I am getting deeper and in to meditation before class and to an extent during class. It makes a world of difference in the ease and flow of the class. I've always known it would but now I can actually experience it! In Standing Bow today, though I fell out a couple of times on the first set, on the second set I got in to a level of concentration I don't think I've ever achieved before. I really did stop feeling the strain, I was so focused on my BREATH, not so much my knee...and that's what got me there. If I can truly and deeply focus on the rhythm of my breath and keep it slow and steady, the opportunities are limitless!
