My 100 Days of Wellness, Day #45
It’s Valentine's Day, and even though some call it a made-up holiday for Hallmark Cards, it’s still lovely to showcase our love for one another.
Ignore it or buy flowers for yourself if you are alone. Sometimes we all feel alone, and sometimes we feel deeply connected. Sometimes love is undefinable. No matter who you are with or not with, love yourself first!
It’s been quite a day: a panic attack and bad news. A nice walk with a dear friend. Love texts and funny texts and memes with my peeps. But after the dust settles, there is love and calm, regrouping and gratitude.
My wellness plan today involves some healthy smoothies and fresh pressed juices. It’s always easier to plan and eat well on days off. Tomorrow will be a work day, so we will have to have plenty of good choices. Meditation has been key, and I plan my next 20 minutes in just a few.
Some days it’s just nice to be still and listen closely to the aftermath of a stressful day. If you are lucky, you will hear the quiet sound of nothing, just being. It’s the place to come back to where it’s easier to make sense of things.
Although it’s been a challenge to get on my yoga mat again, here is the yoga sutra for today, 1.45; The subtlety of possible objects of concentration ends only at the undefinable. Satchidananda, Swami. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
Even though I will include the link for a specific explanation of 1.45 (click here), this wise and ancient teaching, I believe, means that when we get to the point in meditation where we are completely still and so quiet, we no longer have a sense of objective thought, the state of being is undefinable.
