My Wii Fit Plus taught me something today. It has to do with staying balanced within the yellow area while holding a yoga pose. As long as I concentrated on the yellow area, it was fine. But when my attention was caught by something outside of it, I started swaying and losing balance, the red lines going crazy all over the place. The focus of my attention was paramount.
While meditating after my workout, and while trying to steady my inner gaze upon what I Am, thought problems kept filing in. That situation at work, what does it mean and how should I handle it?...the neighbor who triggers my worst, what to do...mirror on car busted by a runaway sideswiper, money, money, money...Stop. I Am. Stop. I Am. Stop. I Am. Wait...work, neighbor, money...
Then there it was. The yellow circle with the red dot inside. A tiny Wii screen right in my head. My focus, my balance. Something to try. The keeping of the red dot within the yellow circle--that connection to...whatever It Is that Is. Balance, strength, the right way and the right place, carried over into the rest of the day. Well, I'll be darned. The rest of the day is just one more Sun Salutation.
