So I'm taking Yoga classes at the local recreation centre. A friend mentioned some concern about the Hindu influences in the practice but I've been using it as a time to meditate on God.
Well last night during the relaxation portion the instructor lead us through a series of visualizations. She told us to picture someone close to us that we truly loved and then to think of someone who means absolutely nothing to us.
Now the neat thing is that it took me a while to come up with someone! I went through my circles - co-workers (nope, I have affection for them); neighbours (same thing there affection); folks at church (again, affection) ... I ended up coming up with the face of the woman who served me coffee that morning. And I could see her nametag. Then we were to think of that person with love and then thing of a larger group of people and think of them with love. So then I came up with all of Hamilton.
It was a really interesting thought process ... and it made me think of the 40 Day of Mercy we're doing at church. By jove, I think I've got it!
Cheers
Shirley
