Be Here Now (Var.)


Mudras are meant to invoke certain meanings, feelings, or intentions. The mudra of calm abiding, with the hands placed on the thighs, palms facing down, is a good one for these times.
The point is not to go away, but to be able to be present and able to act effectively, even as things are chaotic.

When was the last time you were moved to be in tree pose (vrksasana)?

I walk past the Japanese American World War II Memorial on my way to work. This means I mostly walk past without thinking about why it is there. This morning I was moved to reread and remember and ask myself what am I doing about it?
