- 3:40 AM–Alarm sounds. Body and mind agree that staying in bed is the answer, determination says that someone is asking the wrong question.
 - Bloated belly. Belly focus is not inward focus.
 - Low back and thighs still incredibly tight from Friday. Allowing Saturday’s sadhana to slide was an unkindness.
 - Despite belly bloat and violin strings for muscles, mind remains relatively quiet.
 - Belly bloat approaching pain rather than discomfort.
 - Very difficult to find alignment.
 - Bhujangasana, correct alignment centers weight on the lower third of the pelvis. Incredibly strong and stable foundation for this posture.
