Today’s Practice
5 minutes of meditation
20 seconds of plank

Yesterday I started a year long dedication to a daily Yoga practice.  Last night just before I went to bed, I sat for my five minutes of meditation and 20 seconds of plank.  The moment I stepped out of bed, I did the same and this was intentional.  Yesterday I wrote “Set a time for your daily practice.  The same time every day.  Be religious about this time.”  There will be a few days when that isn’t possible, practice as soon as you can.

Observations

I have been meditating for a long time and five minutes vanishes in just a few breaths.  Moving from my seated position to plank is almost like moving in a dream:  One moment I am there sitting on the floor and the next I find myself on my elbows in plank.  I can remember the transition but even though I move slowly and deliberately, that transition seems like it never happened.
