I've been doing 30 minutes of the "Power Yoga" Rodney Yee DvD in the mornings. I always follow it up with a sitting meditation. The more familiar and proficient I get at doing the 30 minutes of this DvD, the more intense the workout is getting for me. This morning, in my follow-on meditation, I found myself sinking effortlessly into a state of perfect calm and contentment. It felt like brilliant sunshine, and I celebrated it by dedicated my practice to my mother, mother-in-law, a dying uncle, and my boss at work. I accepted the suffering that each is going through at the moment, and gave each a silent offering of the peace that I was feeling. It was a very nice meditation.
Afterwards, I went into the bathroom to take my morning shower and noticed that I had a bottle of a new type of shampoo, and I felt the child inside of me jump with glee "wheeee, a new shampoo, how fun!".
Yoga is bringing back the child in me :)
