The Journey … Why hurry?
Find
perfection in the imperfections …
Refinement – 100% commitment to our practice – growth and
awareness
2. Small tweaks – subtle changes in our physical practice as well as the mental practice
3. Remain present – get out of auto-pilot – here; now
Emphasize
bigger breath with each pose, perhaps eliminate “research” poses
90% of
the time do your practice; 10% of the time be mindful of your refinement
techniques
Challenge
yourself with your external and internal process; precision; how does this pose
serve you on your journey?
The
most difficult and challenging part of the practice is the “head games.” Wherever you go, there you are!
Storytelling: Guruji at a workshop several years past; room
was packed with over 100 students.
Like a
conductor in an orchestra, Guruji was VERY succinct about the pace and rhythm
of the breath and flow. All students
were very mindful, remaining present as each count was called out. However, one student was always one pose
ahead of the rest of the students.
Finally, in exasperation, Guruji stopped the count, moved through the
room and up to the student. His question
was simple, “why hurry????” Wherever you
go, there you are!

Hurry????” ~ Guruji
