| Ever go to practice yoga and form a mental image of what you were
"going to do"? Ever see an instructor "do" and asana and make an
intention to "do" that too? Ever notice that what really happens
seems to occur despite your mental chatter? Recently I have been
practicing with Tratak - a candle gazing technique in which the
candle's image is received by the eyes. In practicing this technique,
it is easy to see when the mind is projecting. How can I see anything
then? It is fun to practice asana in this way too - once finding the
"edge" of the pose, letting go of the effort and observing in this
Zen-like way of bare attention. Well, it would be fun to talk more
about this and other ways people use yoga to practice attention and
awareness. Please respond!
