And I know a lot of you are yoga practitioners So you might decide to place yourself in what is known as Mountain or Tadasana pose?
I'm not going to cue it too much Tadasana pose,
But rather choose the position that you can be comfortable in Sometimes that means feet hip distance apart For you it might also be placing yourself near a wall so that you have something to lean against if you lose balance Not everyone will close their eyes Having eyes open a lot of times is a support for balance Hands can fall by your sides Be interlaced in front of you or you can grab your wrist or hands behind you Try one or two of these positions out before you settle into stillness Soften your knees Begin by feeling the texture Feel the tension Feel the tension Feel the tension Feel the tension Begin by feeling the texture of the feet on the ground Separate la texture de voir bas ou la couverture Salut bout àGuide Displaye Tu Ci Uhle T'a nous vout sant Fu d editor extrateruhrer Un même tain santé le planchet qui vous soutien.
When you're not moving,
Notice if there's more pressure on one foot than the other.
And upon noticing,
Notice if you adjusted that or if you managed to stay still.
As well,
Notice if you're leaning into your toes or more into your heels.
And again,
Did you adjust or were you able to just observe?
Now give yourself a few moments to adjust so that you can find that balance between right and left foot.
Sans être régédre,
Ça c'est de garder cette qu'il ybe.
Ça c'est de garder cette qu'il ybe.
Your focus can be quite specific,
Like keeping your attention on your feet or legs.
Or it can be more broad,
Noticing your breath,
Noticing but resisting moving in other ways.
Or noticing the state of your heart and mind,
Whether it's related to this pose or not.
And again,
Notice if you're leaning into your toes or more into your heels or more into your heels,
Or if you're not moving,
Notice if you adjusted that or if you managed to stay still.
If possible,
Begin to track your moment-to-moment intention,
Which can resemble something like feeling an itch,
Wanting to itch,
Reminding yourself not to itch,
Wanting to sit,
Reminding yourself of this intention to stand,
And then remaining standing.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
We're at about the 10-minute mark for standing.
Knowing that before you move,
Just notice if there's an internal sigh of relief and that you want to just plop down on your cushions again.
And if so,
Can you stretch your limit for awareness,
Knowing that now you have permission to sit and can you pay particular attention to the moment where the intention to sit actually becomes action?
Of course,
At that moment,
You can sit,
But try to pay attention to when the urge turns into an action.
Of course,
You may decide to stay standing,
Still tracking the moment-to-moment intention.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Whether you're seated or standing,
You can notice if there's any urges to move or adjust,
Pay close enough attention to try to catch that choice point,
The thought or intention turning into an urge.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Whether you're standing or seated,
Your awareness can be quite specific.
It can be more global,
It can be about the sound,
The thought,
The inspiration.
In the two of us,
Observe the dance that the presence is your control.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Even when the bells ring,
Can you pay attention to when your intentions to say,
Open the eyes or to sit,
Turn into action.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
