Begin Again

Mmm.  Vampire Weekend not crazy about this band never have been.  But this certain song from Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist is on and not only is it fitting my whimsy but I like the Eleanor Rigby instrumental.  Now I am reminded to rent that movie next time my legs need movement and my breath fresh air so that I walk to Blockbuster a couple blocks from here.

Feels like a long time since I've written.  Now New Slang is on.  Second time I've heard it today  and seriously this is one of my top five favorite songs ever.  That's a big claim I know.  Not sure why.  It just gets something inside me worked out whenever I hear it, something that otherwise is almost always wordless.  I always feel better, more like myself after I hear it.  Always.

And so that's what I'm on here to download today.  About feeling more like me.  Returning to center.  Yoga today was so awesome.  What.  A. Return.  My teacher during final relaxation said Let your outter body fall in to your inner body.  Let you inner body fall in to your core.  Now let your core fall in to silence.  It's been a long time--over a week--since I've been able to sit in silence.  Actually no close to two.  For whatever reason I've been hectic inside and missing my center.  Which is what happens all the time when I am going through changes since I'm human.  No matter how many times I live the example I will also always, always forget that taking quiet time to connect to me in the morning is literally the best gift I can give not only myself but the whole world.  I'm so much more inuitive, relaxed and also engaged then.

I stood up after shavasana--final relaxation--was over and thought yep, Begin Again.  Which is a Zazen or Buddhist line reminding us to always keep a loosely open mind.  When the chatter in mediation returns, Begin Again.  But I'm an action girl, I care about applying and walking it the most.  So to me Begin Again is just that.  So what it's been close to two weeks since I've had, or should I say in truth, believed in my practice.

It's all good... Begin Again....
