The other day while I was getting close to the end of a class, one of my regular students said, "hey Jamine, why don't you lie down and I'll lead you through the relaxation?" I told him this was his time and no, but he was serious so I got down on his mat and he sat on mine.
"This is the ABC meditation and it's what I do for myself sometimes. I go through the alphabet and think of something for each word.
"Close your eyes, let your body be comfortable." Then he slowly and quietly continued:
And then he stopped and said, "That's it! Come back next week for the rest of the alphabet!" and we all cracked up.
I'm still learning from that moment a few days ago. I told them I feel I really got more than I gave in that class. What a wonderful treat. I'll report back with the rest of the alphabet as it unfolds...
On another note, this is the top I found to wear to the event that I wrote about last time. I like it!
"This is the ABC meditation and it's what I do for myself sometimes. I go through the alphabet and think of something for each word.
"Close your eyes, let your body be comfortable." Then he slowly and quietly continued:
A. Aspiration. Think of what you want to be, who you're becoming.
B. Beauty. Think of the beauty all around you.
C. Calm. Be calm in this moment.
D. Devotion. Be devoted to your practice of yoga.
E. Equanimity. Be equinamous to whatever comes up.
F. Fulfilled. Allow your yoga practice to fulfill you.
G. Grateful. Think of all that you're grateful for.
And then he stopped and said, "That's it! Come back next week for the rest of the alphabet!" and we all cracked up.
