Moria the yoga teacher said that when your mind is active and thinking about lots of things your focus is in your head and this makes it very hard to balance. To balance you need to move your focus down your body to lower your centre of gravity. A calm mind makes this easier.
On Wednesday night I attempted a tree pose and couldn't do it at all. I was attempting just to raise one foot as high as my ankle and balance. No chance, I was all over the place. Today a graceful tree grew from my yoga mat, with my foot placed above the opposite knee and held there for a good minute, both sides.Quick note: this picture is not me, I stole it off the Internet!
My main reason for doing yoga is to help me stay calm, to prevent the racing thoughts that fill up my head most of the time. Today I have a quiet mind, I have great balance but sadly I can't think of anything really to blog about. I'm sure the ideas will be back soon.

Oooh, I haven't find a calm state of mind in a long time. Maybe yoga is something I should try. And, if I could look more like that picture, that would be even better!
I always thought ears helped with that matter...shows why I can't balance my mind is never calm.
