The best reason to keep practicing...

Thinking of all the Yoga classes I began by reading a Mary Oliver poem......

I worried a lot. Will the garden grow, will the rivers
flow in the right direction, will the earth turn
as it was taught, and if not how shall
I correct it?

Was I right, was I wrong, will I be forgiven,
can I do better?

Will I ever be able to sing, even the sparrows
can do it and I am, well,
hopeless.

Is my eyesight fading or am I just imagining it,
am I going to get rheumatism,
lockjaw, dementia?

Finally I saw that worrying had come to nothing.
And I gave it up. And took my old body
and went out into the morning,
and sang.

by Mary Oliver

Hugh Jackman on Meditation

“If you put Buddha, Jesus Christ, Socrates, Shakespeare, Arjuna, Krishna at a dinner table together, I can't see them having an argument."

"In meditation, I can let go of everything. I'm not Hugh Jackman. I'm not a dad. I'm not a husband. I'm just dipping into that powerful source that creates everything. I take a little bath in it. It's not just finding quiet; it's finding bliss. And that is natural, that is for everybody

You see it in babies, you don't have to teach it to them. We somehow forget. And what meditation has done for me, and for Deb, and the kids, is to get us back to that thing we've forgotten. Which is, it is our birthright to be happy, to be alert, to actually connect with people in a real way
I meditated before I hosted the Oscars, I meditate before I go on stage, I meditate in the morning and lunch time. When I'm on a film set, the energy is finer, and the decisions you make are more authentic, and you're more able to listen to other people. It has helped me in every way. Immeasurably.

Meditation is all about the pursuit of nothingness. It's like the ultimate rest. It's better than the best sleep you've ever had. It's a quieting of the mind. It sharpens everything, especially your appreciation of your surroundings. It keeps life fresh."
~ Hugh Jackman
