Focus
Namaste,
Happy New Year once again!
Does anyone recall the Y2K bug and the frenzy it caused as we approached the year 2000.
25 years have zipped by since then! That’s how fast we’re travelling through time.
As that famous Robert Frost poem goes:
“… I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”
In other words:?
It’s time to snap out of holiday mode and regain focus. :))))
We’ve just begun the first full week of January.
Big, small, personal, work-related ... we all have goals and it’s time we began moving towards them once again.
Refocusing on them and prioritising tasks that will help us reach them faster could be our first stop as we settle back into work and all our chores.
Meditation, a few cycles of deep breathing while focusing on the inhalations and exhalations can help rid our minds of distractions. Another excellent practice is journalling to work through chaotic thoughts.
A combination of such practices, or maybe some other routine or ritual, usually helps most of us switch into work mode.
All of Yoga culminates in helping the practitioner still the mind. As Patanjali's Yoga Sutra 1.2 says: "Yogas Chitta Vriti Nirodah." In other words: Yoga is the cessation of the modifications of the mind.
By modifications, I mean all the emotions, feelings, thoughts, experiences that impact the individual consciousness. It's when we are able to detach from these that we can attain single-pointed focus or ekagrata.
This is what we need most today, particularly because all of us are hit by so much information and sensory stimuli.
Keep your goals constantly in view, and make steady progress towards them.
Until next week ...
With love and prayers,
