You know that class when you can barely go on. You start seeing a desert where there is no shade and the sun is burning through your eyeballs. You want to leave. You really want to leave the class. You think you are going to die.

But, you somehow manage to stay. You somehow manage to get through.

What is the part that is keeping you there?

And what is the part that wants to leave?

The SPIRIT keeps you there. (IN SPIRATION)

The MIND wants you to leave. (MONKEY MIND)

The MIND wants you to leave because it is reacting to the thoughts you are having.

It IS TOO HOT
I AM TOO SWEATY
I FEEL LIKE PASSING OUT
I THINK I am going to throw up
I CAN'T DO THIS

These thoughts come and go.

Change the thoughts, and you won't SUFFER.

I ACCEPT this heat
I am NOT MY BODY
I WILL OBSERVE THE SENSATIONS AND WATCH THEM PASS
I WILL survive
I will cool down
I WILL BE O.K.
I am so proud of myself
I can conquer anything

Relax
Unclutch this suffering
Smile
Breathe
Relax

I can do it

If you change the thoughts,

Your body will do what you say.

Observe instead of react

One of the best challenges is to conquer the chattering and clutching of thoughts and

Just WATCH
stay present and detach from the experience.

Watch the experience.
Watch your thoughts.

Peace
Andrea
