It's no secret that I am really into Yoga. I started practicing with my mother when I was about three or four years old. We'd watch and practice with Lilias Folan on PBS.
I loved Lydia's brightly colored Leotards with white stripes. The first time I learned to meditate was when I started to practice Yoga again in the mid-90's. Meditation was something I already knew about, having an Aunt deep into the alternative lifestyles of the sixties and seventies--open marriage, communal living, Astrology, Yoga, vegetarianism, equality--you name it, she did it. I always thought my Aunt was weird. I'd shove the meditation tapes she sent me into a drawer and forget about them. When I reconnected with Yoga in my twenties, I started to learn more about Meditation and now I understand how powerful it is. And how elegantly simple. I recently found this site with guided meditation audiofiles you can download. The great thing is, you can do it in the privacy of your own home, which means you can keep your eyes closed, instead of peeking around the room to see what everyone else is doing.
Have you ever tried Meditation? Would you like to?
