This week we will practice a restorative yoga class starting with legs up the wall to access the spaciousness of our mind, body, breath and emotions. From legs up the wall we will use a block and bolster to move into other supported, restorative yoga postures to hang out with no agenda, no plan, but just time for being and focus on our breath and the sensations in our body, knowing that “I am enough and whatever I do is enough.” We will let go of overidentifying with our work and open up to the complexity of our many roles as a complex human BEING. We will let go of the disease of being busy.
Today we continue with the third of the five hindrances and sleepiness or dullness. You may wonder what this has to do with the disease of being busy and why I have chosen a restorative class? When we slow down and come to our yoga mats we are saying no to the disease of busy-ness and the result can often be that neutral experiences can seem dull and boring and even put us to sleep. If we are not mindful we can be off looking for the next experience to entertain and occupy us.
One of the most common complaints I hear about my yoga classes is that they are too slow and boring. I often feel this complaint comes within a cultural context of depending on the intensity of doing to feel alive. When our experience is neutral we are trained to look for something, anything to do, or to numb out and go to sleep.
In our yoga practice we are training in mindfulness, that is we are training our attention. When we begin to numb out because our experience has become boring for us, we are experiencing the aversion of dullness or sleepiness. This can be our meditation bell to remind us to come back to our training in attention. We can bring our awareness and interest to our breath and our sensations in our body. Even if our practice is calming, we can train ourselves to pay attention to what is happening. We can challenge ourselves to not numb out when the experience is “dull.” This is the practice.
