The Art of Non-Doing
Summer in my world has been an exercise in restraint from the habitual patterns of planning, organizing, and packing in as many activities and accomplishments as possible -- even fun ones.
Oh, the pleasure of trips to visit dear family and the ocean, no schedule, staying up late to watch movies or catch fireflies. And all the great progress on lifeyum and exploration of my yoga practice this summer:
- Wanderlust Yoga Festival (video recap here),
- workshop with legendary teachers Rodney Yee, Colleen Saidman, David Swenson, and Shelley Washington,
- and most recently, working with Jennilee Toner and the next group of Hot Warrior Yoga teachers (goddesses!) at The Yoga Spa in Ballston Spa
But even the slightly relaxed state of summer feels like going-going-going. Jon Kabat-Zinn reminds us that non-doing is not the same as doing nothing. In Wherever You Go, There You Are, "dwelling in stillness and looking inward for some part of each day, we touch what is most real and reliable in ourselves and most easily overlooked and undeveloped."
At peace with things as they are, moment by moment.
Then, maybe, a yoga class. That's where I get my present moment and gratitude button reset every time. Hope to see you at one soon...if not this week -- see below!
