Time: 3:15pm
What: 15 minutes seated practice
Focus: Counting “One” to “Eight” (inhalations and exhalations)
Today I experienced the true meaning of chitta-vritti. The theme for this afternoon's practice: whirlwind! Whirlwind of Canada's Next Top Model... Conflict... Schedule... Planning... Journal writing... Meeting with Diane. This morning was dominated by cleaning the apartment for the visiting parent-in-laws and generally being behind schedule. Time for seated practice was carved into the routine at the studio, while the teacher trainees practiced teaching in the next room. The noise of the trainees was louder than the bustle of thoughts and the calm awareness of the breath count. Structure of the breath count was confusing... Started with inhale 1, 1, 1, 1... exhale 1, 1, 1, 1. Settled into inhale... 1... exhale... 1.
