Day Three - No epiphanies and confusion

I guess it's understandable that some days are just, well, regular. No epiphanies today. Went to yoga class. Interesting that Kristi was not there - we had Alan instead. So after all that heartfelt teacher-thanking yesterday, I was offered an opportunity to learn from someone different. I found myself smiling alot. Not entirely sure why. I was just feeling amused. And present. I remembered to dedicate my practice to connection with what is alive in me. And I thought about how I really "ought" to be more connected with what is alive in others. And remembered that thinking is not necessarily practicing. And that so much of my experience as a human is below words. So I felt into that.

Also wondered about whether it "counts" if I'm not doing the exact same practice every day during these 27 days. Is it enough to commit to noticing what is alive in me, and others? There are so many ways that shows up. Wondered about whether I'm confused about what to do - and remembered what Kelly Bryson says about confusion - you can offer empathy for the confusion by saying (to yourself or someone else) "So, a part of you is feeling confused...." That allows the other parts to soar up and get a bird's eye view of the situation. One thing I noticed is I felt really steady in tree pose in class this evening, and it occurred to me that this is the same steadiness I feel when I'm guiding 37 seventh graders through a Spanish lesson. I knew then for sure that my yoga asana practice does have an impact in other parts of my life. And when I think about it, I know it's all one. So in the classroom and on the yoga mat are the exact same practice? In a sense.

I guess that counts as an "epiphanito."
