Daily Reflection
I often find that our dreams can sometimes heavily influence our thinking. For example, last night I had a dream about my grandmother. My grandmother passed away over ten years ago now and I don't find myself thinking about her as much as I used to; however, because she was in my dream last night, I have spent a good portion of the day reflecting on her life. This happens not only with people but with themes. For example, last week I had a dream that alligators were trapping me in a stadium. The main theme of the dream was feeling trapped. I found that I spent a good portion of the day thinking about all of the times I have felt trapped in my own life.
In your journal today record your dream. Watch how that dream influences your thinking and actions today. Ask yourself, what influence did my dream have on my thoughts today? Just be aware.

The Time for Yoga is Now

Daily Reflections
The first Yoga Sutra tells us that in this moment yoga instruction is being given. What does this mean to us in our daily lives? It means that in any moment we have the ability to pick up the practice of yoga, not just the practice of asanas, but the entire practice. This Sutra also emphasizes that it is a practice and not a philosophy. What does this mean? It means that we can't just think about the practice we must do something. We must study the teachings of wise ones, we must record our reflections, we must serve, we must act, we must do. The time for yoga is now in this moment, and this moment, and this moment.
