I started out this yoga blog as a way to express my process and evolution in practicing yoga. Recently, I started to write notes about the practice of yoga since I'm enrolled in an advanced studies yoga program. I wanted to start writing my thoughts but didn't think that type of writing would fit with my current factual writing I started. Now, I realized that I'm going to start writing both, the journalistic and the latter, in this blog.
I practice and read about yoga fluently. I attempted some practices in pranayama that have yet to stick. The one journey I have yet to start is meditation. There's no real reason I haven't even attempted to start a meditation practice. Maybe it's because I felt like pranayama practice is a form of meditation. But it's not. I mean it is. But it's not. I need to meditate, meditate. Sit in siddhasana, close my eyes and focus on nothing. I think this would help and assist me in my yoga practice/studies and in my life. Since this is new territory, I will not act like I know a lot about the subject because to be quite honest, I don't. Or at least I think I don't. I don't even know what types of meditation there are or whose books to read. I found a "Meditation for Dummies" book, maybe I'll start there. Maybe I'll start today. Either way, I start incorporating this practice, trying to meditate and learning about meditation. I already meditate on my life and actions constantly and I have noticed that this attention is very beneficial to my well being. I'm a conscious being who is attentive to all her actions and thoughts. Now I'm curious as to what will happen when I set aside time to just look within. Quiet. Still. Calm. The journey begins.
