Good morning,

Am finding the immediacy of Laya Yoga. Because of the small movement, when sitting still, that spine can be all over the place.
Started without the circular movement. Pull that Neck Lock! Pull it right and I know the muscles will learn to keep the rest of the spine in line.
The throat opens up and the sound immediately drops to the navel.
Today, the ribcage lifted too! Now, that was unexpected. This looks good for holding a good meditation posture. Lots of little clicks and pops in the spine.

After the Laya Yoga, I pulled my hair straight up, trying to hang from the top, and aligned what I had. Guru Teg Bahadur tied his hair to the basement ceiling. I’d like to just SIT STILL for a few minutes. At least my tongue wasn’t playing with anything it could find in my mouth. Can’t say it held still, as I’d find my teeth clenching.
Speaking of that most sensitive organ, the tongue…WHEN Neck Lock was tight, IF the over-emphasized pronunciation was carefully enunciated…that’s when the ears could start hearing. I think that lasted about 3 rounds. Mithna, churning. Japa, repetition. Maybe that’s called ‘Focus’…?

Isn’t the Internal Drama quite something? Do this. Assess. Think that. Assess. Straighten spine. Assess. Inhale, Assess. Stop thinking. Assess. Where’s that little, sweet, Sat Nam?

Oh, and breathing? SMILE! (dammit!) Snowy night, lots of wind. Nostrils so swollen, it took almost 2 hours to breathe “normally”. But, that little smile…  ;-)>>>

Remember how it opened your nostrils when you were just a young student and the teacher had you up in Bow Pose and all of a sudden yelled ,”Smile!”? Can this be repeated?

Okay, obviously, some part of this mornings yoga and meditation got me wired.

Have a great day.

Thanks for all this.
