Life in the Fast Lane w/ Focus & Calm

So -- Is it okay to race through the day at warp speed and still remain calm and focused. Sort of like being in Ardha Chandrasana - one legged side warrior - and knowing the next pose is coming but for this second balance and concentration is called forth. As long as we are loving doing the pose, which I absolutely do, and accept its inherent challenges and benefits -- it is so natural and normal to be hyper focused one sec and future tripping the next. After all, the next moment will bring the next experience/pose and so life goes on. Am I justifying how busy life has become lately. Heck No -- just living the Warrior life in Silicon Valley juggling the tasks as yogi, friend, mum, wife and lover. Just life with awareness and choice. Always looking for the highest thought, right action and peace of mind!

Yoga & The Art of Living

It occurred to me several years back that my yoga practice had so much more to do with what I did off the mat than on. This intensified my practice big time and made it all the more powerful and engaging. How to make every action, reaction, conversation and encounter a yoga pose. How to breath thru life even when it got intense I all I wanted to do was scream. How to stop and enjoy the beauty of my young daughter playing with our sweet little hamster. How to cook a pot roast and relish in the aroma filling my kitchen. Yes -- yoga off the mat began to follow my delightful addiction to Yoga on the mat. My passion for life was no longer for a few hours at my yoga studio. What a concept:-)

The challenge tho was how to always see life from this perspective! Boy, when life gets intense or I get one of my daughter's 1st grade germ brews -- whew -- I go back to wanting to scream at God or somebody about about my suffering. And, then -- there comes the breath, and the sunshine, and of course, cherry popsickles. Life is funny and certainly an art form that I will work on until my last moment of breath.
