I can't tell you how many times I've been told, "I can't meditate, my mind is too busy." False!! Everyone can meditate, because meditation is about practicing present tense awareness. The mind naturally goes on walk-about, and that reality doesn't make you a bad meditator, just as not being able to do headstand doesn't make you a bad yogi. It is about showing up for practice, and for yourself. So when your mind wanders or gets stuck in thoughts, you simply notice and acknowledge that reality as soon as you are able, and bring yourself back into the here and now. It isn't always easy or pleasant, but it definitely pays off if you stick with it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I absolutely love Starr Mill Yoga. I live 45 minutes away and whenever I get to come visit, I make the drive. Best Yoga studio I've been to in CT. I recently took the energy medicine yoga class and it was such a great class. What I learned will expand my daily practice going forward. Thank you!"

The Art of Paying Attention.
We can take a yoga class and never even dip our toes into the magic that arises, not just in class but in our lives, when we practice mindfulness, defined as paying attention to the present moment without judgment. If this is a new concept for you, I encourage you to try putting into practice a quality of intimacy toward your experience, truly the heart of an embodied yoga lifestyle.

How to do this? Ask yourself "What is happening for me right now?" and try to directly sense and feel what is arising, rather than defaulting into habitual labels and recurrent thoughts. For example, acknowledging a dense sensation instead of thinking oh that's my bad knee. Within a single movement, you can ask the same question, at the beginning, middle and end of the movement, eliminating the idea that the asana is a place to get. You know... it's about the journey, not the destination. Notice how your experience changes breath by breath, try doing just part of the movement, change the pace of the movement, etc, and notice how your practice deepens and grows. Let your practice be an inquiry.

Feel free to comment and share your experiences!
