The afternoon began with me undecided and inert, aware of the list of things I thought I needed to do this weekend, but not motivated to do any of them. As I began to look up information on a winter yoga training that I'm thinking about taking, it took me to YouTube where I saw a link about hamstrings. Ahh, that's another thread, as I'm teaching a new class this spring with an emphasis on hamstrings, and I'm always on the lookout for new techniques to weave in.
I watched the video, taking some notes as it went, as it looked interesting and consistent with my ideas on practice and teaching. I'd been thinking that after the video was over, I'd move on to another project, but instead I wanted to go try out the practice for myself.
I've been teaching an unusual amount lately, and I haven't had as much time for my own practice. Perhaps that is what was behind my inertia. I worked through the exercises, and as soon as I finished, I knew very clearly that I was ready to move on to the waiting project. No doubt, no hesitation - not as a result of will power or analysis - but from some deeper place unlocked by a half hour of conscious movement.
