WOW This blogging thing is hard to keep on top
of. Well here I am again. September 11th has
come and passed once again and fortunately
without incident. I dedicated all classes I
taught this month for September 11th. We
must never ever forget this moment in history.
In fact the country is still at war as a result of
it. In class tonight I talked about Peace
starting from within as the famous quote
says. This includes or actually begins with
our thoughts. I also thought of the expression
“If you have nothing good to say then don’t
say it”. I am thinking it should start sooner than
saying it. “If you don’t have anything good to
think then don’t think it”. And one might
ask so what does the thought become
replaced with? I would say the thought
becomes replaced with your breath. And so
“If you don’t have anything positive to think
then perhaps you just BREATHE”. Stay with
the Breath. As one of my favorite Yoga
Instructors, Tom Gillette says “The fastest
way out of your head is through the breath”
and he would start each class with pranayama
(breath exercises).
