Be where you’re at…

My sister-in-law Amy once attended a yoga class where the teacher told her, “Be where you’re at…. on the mat.” Tonight I was on my own mat in yoga and during the glorious savasana (resting pose at the end of class) I found my mind wandering.

“What should I wear out tonight… should I eat first? hmm. I wonder what shoes I would wear if lived in San Francisco..” My random mental chatter was interrupted with a gentle reminder to be where I was at, simply on my mat receiving the benefits of my rigorous practice.

As I returned to my breath, my body and my mat, I began to focus on what Eckhart Tolle refers to as a good relationship with the present moment. For a little while I was able to sink into a place where I felt in-love with the present moment.

I brought this feeling home with me and wish to share it with you. One of the lessons from A Course in Miracles is “I am in need of nothing but the truth.” The present moment seems like the truth to me – undiluted life waiting to give us everything we need.
