      Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; for it becomes your destiny. -- Upanishads

      Seeing things for the first time

      Seeing things for the first time

      I am on a personal mission to see AVATAR IN 3D one more time. (That would be 3!) Why would I do that? Because I want that movie to be the biggest box office hit of all time. It's almost there! Please go see AVATAR - but make sure you see it in 3D! It's a must.

      So what does this have to do with YOGA?

      In the movie - Jake goes into the native land of Pandora and has to learn everything the native people know about the land and learn their way of life.

      He has to SEE THINGS AS IF FOR THE FIRST TIME.

      When you are in the yoga room - are you really seeing?

      You are there to see the breath. To use all of your senses and concentrate.

      You are there to find a DRISHTI - a gaze point. Internal or external.

      When you are in the yoga room - if your mind is chattering loudly, or you are holding on to emotions -

      You are not seeing your yoga pose for what is is in that moment.

      When you are in SAVASANA - gaze at the breath. Listen to the sounds of the room. Gaze at stillness in the body.

      Be present

      Connect

      Surround yourself with NEWNESS.

      Every time you step on the mat.

      Let go of what prevents you from seeing it.

      And go see Avatar in 3D - or be a geek like me and see it again and again!

      You will get a sense of looking at something for the first time.

      And as the people of Pandora say -

      "I SEE YOU."

      Peace
      Andrea
