Meditation: Day 5

I took my usual place on the couch, cross legged, back against the wooden frame, hands on the thighs- palms facing up. I closed my eyes and came into my Ujjayi breath. This time I practiced with the mouth open and it helped me prevent clenching my jaw.

I felt satisfied - I had just eaten. I felt comfortable. There was minimal anxiety about having to be anywhere else. My mind wandered a bit, but I kept coming back to the breath.

I don't know that I came away with anything mind-blowing. Nothing life-altering. I didn't notice much of anything. I heard the furnace starting and stopping. I felt the cold air on my left toe. I noticed that I keep going back to moments in yoga classes where I wish I had said something else, or didn't say anything at all. Time to let that go.

I'm trying to clean out my closet. It's also time to let go of things I no longer wear. But part of me wants to hold on . . .just in case. What's the rule? If you haven't worn it in 6 months . . .Let go, let go, let go!
