I've noticed that I am enjoying synchronicity in my life these days.
You know how it is, when something magically shows up, just when you need it? Or your favourite number starts to appears often, such as the number of the only available parking lot stall? Or you learn about some obscure fact, and then oddly, it pops up again in other conversations? These little but significant occurrences seem to be happening for me more frequently these days.
Whenever I notice synchronicity in my life, I feel in synch with the universe, and know that things are going my way. It's a good feeling.
Might it be the yoga, opening up pathways that are intangible to human understanding?!
Maybe!
Well, todays' class was very nice. 7am hatha with Carina, and my second class with her. She started off in seated meditation for quite some time. In the past I've felt annoyed with teachers who leave us sitting quietly in a dark room at the crack of dawn (I didn't wake up early just to sit around!!), but this time I really enjoyed it. My mind felt fully aware, and I focused on my breath.
The class wasn't overly difficult (just right for the AM), but we did a lunge series that was exerting, along with some long held-planks and pelvis lifts. Good morning muscles!
Carina also shared a tip that I'll have to remember. She talked about balance being a "use it or lose it" thing. As we age, balancing postures become even more important. She challenged us to stand on one foot when we brush our teeth. And to exercise both our balance AND our brain, to stand on one foot and use the toothbrush with the opposite hand. I'll have to give that a try!
