The Lazy Yogi

Happy August everyone! Welcome to the last third of the summer :) In my mind, Lord Shiva’s month. 

For those participating in the spirituality challenge, you have now been meditating and practicing mindfulness for two days. Already you are starting to build a foundation for your practice. Don’t sell yourself short on this, it is a big and important step. 

Today, pay attention to the ways you try to escape this moment. What are your ego’s tricks to avoid the present?

Is it wandering off into imagination? Or evesdropping other people’s conversations? Do you watch too much TV or doodle in your notebook?

Don’t try to analyze yourself or even these tricks. Just become Aware of them. Discover what tricks your ego uses, that is all. When you know the secret to a trick, you are no longer fooled. 

Namaste, sangha.
