Hi yogis,
We are more than halfway through the first week of Yoga Boot Camp. Thank you for your hard work. How is your journaling going? Have you been doing the 60 minutes of cardio work on your off days? How are you feeling? If you have 15 minutes to give yourself today, can you find a pretty place, maybe at the beach, your backyard, wherever, and just sit? Sit and breathe.
Cross your legs. Close your eyes. Open your palms up on top of your knees, like you are holding two imaginary tennis balls. And start to breathe, deeply and slowly. Imagine your breath is the color of electric blue light, and it flows in and out of your mouth. While you inhale, the light glows bright at the base of your spine, by your lower belly, and travels up your front side, through your chest, into your throat, and to your lips. And exhale, visualize the electricity flowing freely past your lips, and back down your front side, lingering at the base of your spine. Inhale you see the light reabsorbed, travels up, and exhale, out the mouth and back down again. Keep with your breath, and silence your thoughts. That outside chatter. Shhh…. Quiet. As you focus your breath, your mind follows in the silence.
After breathing in this way for 5-15 minutes, (however long feels comfortable to you), get out your journal, and without thinking too much, write the first thing that pops into your mind.
These are your private thoughts. However, You can choose to share them with me, and your teammates after class tomorrow. Either way, keep writing.
~Namaste~
