In yoga there is a lot of talk about clearing our minds. About thinking nothing. Or thinking about a color (orange for me). Or thinking the word "OM." It is supposed to bring peace. Peace of mind. Peace of body.
I have a very hard time with this. I have to focus to clear my mind. And then I focus on the fact that I am clearing my mind. Which reminds me that I am trying to clear my mind. Which reminds me of the thoughts that I am trying to clear from my mind. It is a vicious cycle.
But then. When my mind is empty. When my focus is on nothing but my breath. When life is good. That is Yoga.
enJOY it
