The Work to Relax
I was skyping with a dear one this morning and he was saying: I wish I could have a job that's more relaxing--like teaching yoga. I smiled and said, yeah... Well, it takes a lot of diligence to be relaxed. I have to return to my own practice again and again to relax into the moments as they come. There is always something fresh that awaits if you are available to meet it; and the more relaxed you learn to be, the more available you are. There is an energy that comes with relaxation. It is steady and can move most any mountain--emotional mountains, mental mountains, fantasy mountains, even the physical mountains: one foot, one hand, one breath at a time. (1)
