DAY 148 - Today I began my new 8 week challenge, "Moving Toward Balance" with Rodney Yee. This book takes you through 8 aspects of balance (one each week) as you practice related posture, breath awareness, and meditation. Each weekly lesson consists of an Introduction, Day 1 (learn the poses), Day 2-5 is guided sequences, Day 6 is breath awareness and meditation, and Day 7 is rest; but I will either do another sequence or another day of breath awareness and meditation.
Week 1 - Day 1: Being Present
Today I read the introduction and practiced the poses for the week. "Being present means observing and responding appropriately to whatever arises." We start with standing poses to awaken our physical connection to the earth. Standing poses awaken our legs to increase their agility, strength and alignment. The poses invigorate the entire body, which brings ease to your mind. Therefore helping to be present. Each day ends with a short relaxation, breath and meditation.
