Quieting the Mind

How does one quiet the mind?


How do you get from the first picture (above) to the second one?


You practice. You come to the mat again and again, ready to empty out what you think you know.


You let go. You stretch. You open the channels of the body, the mind, the heart.


The spirit follows suit, finding peace. The body is relaxed and calm. The heart is full. The mind, finally quiet. Namaste.
