Preparing for the handstand and meditation immersion with . I crave the physical challenge of handstand, yet I know what I really need is the meditation component of this immersion. As someone who tends towards more rajas energy (on the go, always moving or “doing”), it can be a real challenge to slow down and be still. I used to avoid meditation for that reason, and there was a time in the past where I would have signed up and skipped over the meditation piece. I also had a false idea that when I meditated I was supposed to stop all thoughts. Now I understand that meditation is not about stopping my thoughts but rather not joining the ride my thoughts like to take me on. I also understand why I have a hard time being still- all those limiting beliefs that begin to stir in the quiet. We all have underlying reasons for our behaviors. And while they’re not an excuse for why we do (or don’t do) certain things, once uncovered they can lead to greater awareness which in turn can lead to making different choices. So while meditation can be a challenging practice for me, this go around I’m making a conscious choice to lean into it as opposed to avoiding it.
