Day 31 bowed before me in a mist of food, gratitude, and community.

The last few days were a bit hard for me to focus in my sadhana because I did them at a time when most of the household was up and about which led to distractions such as asking me where I put the so and so item and what time is my appointment on Friday etc.  Today was sweet bliss in sadhana because it was just me, myself, and I.  Ahhhh sweet relief, even though my mind was drifting in and out, I enjoyed every sweet second of bliss, which leads me to distractions in mediation.

When I did my sadhana where our dog could come and lick my hands and nudge my knee with his nose, I realized the distractions of even the most minute details of life that arise in the wee hours.  I then had to prepare myself to close the door, elevate my hips and sit on a flat surface higher than ground level.  So that got rid of the animal distractions–then I thought how do I get rid of the human distraction in my morning sadhana…….ahha!  I just continue with no answers to questions, or   conversation, light bulb huh?

The reality of sadhana is the reality of life–there will always be distractions, it’s how we handle the distractions and comical errors of it that draw us off course.  The monkey mind, ahha!  Yes the lovely monkey mind where everything bounces in the trees and sways and we get hooked on the branches of distractions.

Being aware of the distractions is what helps us draw us closer to our dhristi.

Here’s to our health and the life of wonderful mindful distractions…..
