Moving Meditations

In yoga, we move to the rhythm of our breath. An inhale brings you to downward dog, an exhale to up dog. The movement becomes secondary to the breath.

We talked about how movement becomes a meditation. What if, in everyday life, we could think of our breath and chores of rote could become meditations. For instance, think of something such as folding the laundry. Imagine if we could remind ourselves to be present in the moment. If we could enjoy the warmth of the fabric, the softness of a pair of pajamas, pride in the way we fold like laundry was origami. Think how enjoyable our lives could be? Our enjoyment would be infinite if we could remember to make our lives a moving meditation.
