A few days ago I was wondering, what if we didn't know about the upcoming solar eclipse and the day suddenly turned dark as night? We might imagine all kinds of scary things about why the sun had gone into hiding. Having information about the solar eclipse helps us prepare for and enjoy the experience. Lack of information can leave us scared and confused.
What I love about meditation and yoga is the opportunity to pause and sense spaciousness around our thoughts and perspective. Pausing with practice allows me to step back and get more information before reacting. Practice also offers me the opportunity to open up my perspective and see beyond old, outdated beliefs.
What is your experience? Do you feel a greater sense of clarity after pausing or practicing yoga or meditation? How do you find space to relax your mind and broaden your perspective?
