Stillness.
Last week my intention with my practice was to create space. It was productive to spend an entire week with the same intention for every practice. So, I decided to do it again this week with my focus being on "stillness."
It’s so important to find stillness when we have such a busy world swirling around us. This morning’s yoga practice lasted for an hour and a half which is something that rarely happens. It was so wonderful to just flow through movements while allowing stillness to continuously reside at my core.
I’ve been on this journey as of late to get back to the basics of the important things in my life. My spiritual concerns are reaching further and further causing me to forget the very foundation on which I live my life. My yoga practice has followed suit. In my effort to get better and do more difficult asanas, I seem to have skimmed over the basic foundation of form and purpose of the practice.
Creating space for growth is a good thing and absolutely necessary to keep moving forward, but we can’t move ahead so quickly that it comes at the expense of forgetting the basics of what is really important.
The music that accompanied my practice this morning was Sanctuary and it was a perfect fit to bring me to stillness and continue creating space for growth.
