Alignment

Daily Reflection
During an asana class I took last week, the teacher suggested that we focus on our alignment. This made me think about the word yoga - to yoke together your earth life and spiritual life - in a different way. I thought to ask the question is my life in alignment? Not only do we want the postures we practice to be in alignment but we want our lives to be in alignment. When our lives are not in alignment, something feels a bit off or not quite right. For example, perhaps you feel like your relationships are going well but not your work life or vice versa. Something is out of sync.

In your journal today reflect on whether or not you feel like your life is in alignment. Are all of the pieces correctly balanced? Are they harmonious with each other? Can you ease into the posture of your life and rest there without difficulty or are you struggling and sweating?
