We practice rituals of integrating body-mind -spirit with yoga. Early morning sets the day with rhythms we establish during the first 45 minutes of awakening. The quiet coolness of predawn is optimal, when most others are sleeping.
The more deeply ingrained through repetition, these ritualized practices are more readily available any time there is a spontaneous need. Like learning a foreign language, we study so we can communicate when the need arises. We become fluent with both ritual and spontaneous efforts.
When are you willing to habitually practice? What circumstances require spontaneous usage of your practices? Ki to Happiness gets up early with the birds to sing in the day and returns to her hearts song anytime there is need.
