For Day 1...Monday, May 7,2012:
Welcome! Your mantra (an encouraging thing to say to yourself) for today is: MY HEART IS OPEN TO THIS NEW CHALLENGE/EXPERIENCE WITH NO JUDGEMENT TOWARD MYSELF.
Meditation: (5 minutes, set a timer) Read this sequence first, then begin: Sit on the floor in any comfortable posture that allows your spine to be straight (Easy Seated Pose). Breathe. Deep inhales, long exhales. In thru the nose, out thru the nose. Close your eyes. As questions, anxiety or thoughts arise...acknowledge them, then simply turn them away...perhaps recalling your daily mantra at this time. Keep doing this simple meditation for five minutes and always with deep cleansing breath.
Yoga: Do one full Sun Salutation. (pictures of this sequence posted on this blog.) Please remember to do poses on both sides of your body to maintain balance.
Journal about your experience today before leaving your quiet space.
Hope you enjoyed your yoga time...come back tomorrow for Day 2. So glad you are doing this with me!
