With gratitude, M-san, for the peace and quiet.
Despite the unexpected sounds, despite my growling stomach, despite all the unexpected and amusing disturbances,
I was not disturbed – not at all. I felt like that newborn baby tightly swaddled in a blanket… yes, that feeling… of being swaddled…and yet,
floating down a river…haaahhh…sigh:)
All I felt was deep calmness, warmth and kind energy … a quiet steady vibe – Arigato!
Remember, it is believed that 20 minutes of effective Yoga Nidra is equivalent to 3 hours of sleep – imagine, combined with Restorative Yoga, what would that mean? Outwardly seemingly passive, what you are doing to yourself on the inside may be …radical – you are asked to be “radically present” though altered state of consciousness. With that, I am saying good night:) I finally returned to my own old- former yoga practice after a 3-weeks hiatus (should practice what I preach about regular consistent practice:) – going back to one of my favorite teacher’s class. Yes, I can do it at home but I prefer the group energy that’s “real” (i.e. not online PC screen). There are 2 others I want to go to but… again, we cannot go see everyone we are in love with – I had paid a price for not following the discipline of regular practice (yang asanas) and rest – still not the same as I thought I was about to pass out going into dancer’s pose which made me feel light headed – wait, this is not supposed to be a spinning class … but I felt so much better to get back. Ready to crawl into bed now – with gratitude for today. Good Night! Tomorrow is another brand new day – let us meet it with freshness and vitality, all senses restored.
Arianna Huffington …she’s like your mom, sister, auntie… the wise one. Sleeping so that you can stay truly awake during the waking moments:) Common sense that’s been forgotten in the haze of … lost sleep:)
