Sunday, May 25, 2008 9:10 PM Week 8
Well, we are starting week 8. Unbelievable. I have been studying all day, I am trying to get the final posture word for word and it is a struggle. But one of the visiting teachers had an excellent suggestion for me a few weeks back, and every time I have tried it, it seems to work. I walk and meditate and walk and meditate while reading the words and it seems to help calm my mind enough to remember the posture bit by bit. I think at one point my stress level was so high, I could not even remember my name, and this seemed to take the edge off. So, after much studying today, meditation and a short swim, I am looking forward to this week with a little less apprehension and fear and more hopefulness. I am slowly beginning to see that most of what affects you, are usually self imposed limitations or fears, and the other stuff, well, it really does not matter. We are here to help one another, to care for one another, to appreciate each other, and I try to remember that each day I am here. I have seen Bikram twice this weekend and everytime I have seen him he is hard at work, as usual. Took this picture on my second meditation/study walk of the day. Beautiful.
