Volleyball Friday

It's Volleyball Friday in my world.  My favorite day of the week!  Today was one of those days where everything seemed crystal clear.  As my opponents approached the net or made their plays I seemed to be able to read everything.  What was different?  As I pondered between plays I noticed that I was able to really focus.  I watched the other side look for spots and then moved.  I watched the ball and could feel my breath.  Most days don't tend to be so Zen like.  What is interesting is how Focus is parlaying into the rest of my life at the moment, and it's such a good thing.

Look at this girls focus.  She is my current inspiration and has changed the way I ride my horse.  She is practically looking behind her at her next jump.  Her horse can see where she is looking and is moving in that direction with her.  Her focus affects her horse and this team was in the blue ribbons.  I've been focusing on focus in my riding lately and it really has helped my volleyball apparently.

So where does yoga fit into all of this?  Everywhere!  Dharana - When the body has been tempered by asanas, when the mind has been refined by the fire of pranayama and when the senses have been brought under control by pratyhara, the yogi reaches the sixth stage of yoga, dharana.  BKS Iyengar.  Dharana is not restricted to yoga alone.  Draw in your focus and savor life's sunrises and gifts.  
Love and peace,
Marie
