In our Sunday Introduction to Meditation Class at Yoga Bliss we focused on observing our mind’s activity. We established concentration by focusing on the breath and physical sensations. Our walking meditation almost felt like a procession. We synchronized our pace and felt particularly attuned to each other.
We all experienced mental “busyness.” One student shared a familiar feeling of anticipation. She described “always feeling poised or perched” as her life’s stance. We explored the way this impulse “to do” drives us forward – often away from experiences, issues and people we could benefit spending more time with.
