Be the Calm in the Center of the Storm
Is it possible to not practice being calm and still and then expect us to be calm or
still when needed???...NO
One of the many things we learn in yoga is to be calm or still during a challenging
posture.
In addition, in meditation, we are often practicing being still.
In normal daily life these things are useful when we want to experience
mindfulness or a meaningful discussion or focus on work.
When life turns sideways these skills are needed.
However, if we don't have those tools in our tool belt, it's much more difficult to
pull them out when needed.
We had a medical situation with a student recently and the calmness that came
from the staff and teacher were so helpful in assisting the student during a scary
time.
So, keep practicing yoga and meditation because we never know when we will
need to be the calm in the center of the storm
