Who knows anything? What is there to know? All there is, is right here now. How you feel and what you think, that's it. But what you think and how you feel are going to influence the now aren't they? So become a bit more choosy about what you think and this will influence how you feel.
'Yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery, that just leaves us with now!'
How you think affects how you feel. I'm absolutely convinced that if you want to make more of now then you really 'should' breathe a bit deeper. But that's just me, you may feel it is not necessary and that is you. There you go, you have now created your own reality using your own decision. I would say this is better than just allowing it to drift along aimlessly and asleep.
But having said that first of all you may need to get to a place where you really are ok with things being exactly the way they are, oh hmm. You may have the worst problems in the world or not and wishing things would be different is just that- a wish. Action is the operative word here, action through awareness.
As I understand it awareness is psychological constant, that is, we are always aware to some degree all of the time. Can awareness be increased, can we become more aware than we already are? And if we can what would be the point?
Of course we can become more aware, just by sitting still we will become more aware of ourselves, our thoughts and our feelings will be become a little more highlighted. We may find this a challenge and may want to wriggle out of it, after all why would anyone in their right mind want to suffer, but then again are we suffering, is this really suffering or a little bit of discomfort?
What does becoming more aware achieve? Becoming more aware will give us more choice over how we spend our time. There is only now and now is the time to activate awareness. Or just spend the time being asleep, that's ok too if you prefer to be a moron. By being asleep you will still be led forward and who knows.
'The fool on the hill see's the sun going down, and the eyes in his head see the world spinning round" John Lennon.
So really who cares what you do? Who really gives a damn about Asana practise and breathing? Why do we do all this stuff? Where does it get us? These are some of the questions 'you' may want to ask yourself. But only if you have the time to spare.
I personally like to be relaxed more than I like to be stressed. I am not too driven by unconscious un-lived feelings, not as much as I used to be. I think this is so because I have undone allot of the old unconscious programmes that were running my life from underground. I have done this through the trial and error route of yoga. I have uncovered much of the stuff that was making me tense so am more relaxed as a result, most of the time, not all of the time I might add.
