Day 55 Monkey-Mind Chatter

Most of the usual crowd had other things to do on a sunny Saturday, so there was only eight of us in the hot room this afternoon. I’d worked in the yard, gone grocery shopping, took my daughter out, and ended up being very nearly late for class. Which wouldn’t be good, because then I’d have to make it up somewhere in a double, and I’m NOT going to do that again.

But despite my rushed start, I found myself having another strong day. That’s, like, several days this week. Whoo-hoo! And although I haven’t been doing it deliberately, it seems that as my physical abilities improve, my practice is becoming more… meditative, maybe.

Although I still want to execute a perfect Standing-Head-to-Knee one day, I wonder if quieting the monkey-mind chatter, moving inward and focusing on the breath isn’t an even more important exercise.

And at least as difficult.
