Well that was a weird meditation; I thought I would do it right away in the morning today and I ended up drifting off. I was not sleeping but I caught myself with random thoughts that were different from other days when all my brain wants to think of is "what to do next." I reeled myself in three or four times. Not bad by any means but not focused on my breath as I should have been. I did feel a lightness in my head though which was really nice in comparison to all of my other meditations which have been just so dense, full of demands.
I will be meeting Wynnie later on today for lunch and then Kara this evening to practice teaching. This morning I will spend some time reading and then maybe work on some flash cards. I decided to go out and buy some index cards and pens so that I can put these sequences down on cards and them put them in order. It will be similar to our manual but personalizing it with my verbiage I think will be helpful :)
Daily Practice: Met with Kara about 7 p.m. until 8:15 p.m. We took turns teaching the standing and balancing postures; did not practice the seated today. We found it helpful to compare notes/questions about inhales/exhales, twisting/pivoting feet and arms up to T.
Daily Meal: Had lunch with Wynnie. Enjoyed a walleye sandwich with sweet potato fries. It was good to catch up with her (she was one of my favorite guests at Juut and misses my presence there). We have a special connection; she feels that we have a past-life connection and that we are meant to help one another in this life. I don't disagree with her assertion, but I don't have any experience with past life regression. We enjoy talking about energy work and chakras. She is a great teacher and channels poetry. She is struggling with a potential move back to Oregon (not sure when to cut ties with friends/ how she will maintain relationships in MN).
Daily Meditation: In the morning, right away, mentioned above.^
Daily Gratitude: So thankful that I found a few pairs of work pants at The Limited; I had help from an associate named Patricia. She helped me find the right sizes and offered to pin my pants so I could have them hemmed. I brought these pants to a tailor in the mall, Barb, who did an excellent job. She was very efficient and made me try on each pair to ensure that they fit well. It's amazing how these new pants help me feel like I'm "ready to go" to work on Monday.
