WAKING UP

Since I have begun my medication it's hard for me to wake up early and go to work. There was a time when i could function in 4 hours of sleep while these days even 12 hours seems insufficient. I have the desire to wake up early, play harmonium and do yoga. My friend from Himalayan Yoga Yatra had told me that practice has to go on no matter what. It has to become an integral part of your life. The way eating food is necessary for survival similarly our practice is there to help us cope up with the thick and thins of our daily life. It keeps us balanced. It helps us cut through the veil of becoming somebody. We merge with the one who is after all looking after our well being. Our Higher Power wants the best for us and the tiny choices we make through out the day, like going to the gym, doing a chalisa, cycling, swimming, writing, singing, making love, painting, stretching, all of it eventually helps us unfold a beautiful day.
