After delving into a tedious morning of pouring over our rapidly booked up V-day schedule I have realized the utmost importance of cultivating patience. Three part yogic breath is very helpful in times of stress and eases our minds if only for a few moments. Find your breath, inhale slowly noticing your breath flow in from your chest to your ribs to your belly. Exhale noticing your breath flow out from your chest, your ribs, your belly. Once you have the full force of oxygen flowing you can get back on track with a calming attitude and hopefully a little more patience. Remember that we are all where we need to be in each moment, the present moment is all that we have. There is no use in rushing forward or trying to predict the future, a conscience focus on each moment nurtures our patience toward ourselves and others. Take a bit of time today, at your desk, on your break, or in the school pick up lane to consciously be in each moment and feel the need to hurry, hurry, hurry pass.
Namaste
