Hare calm

In the middle of a yoga class Monday, there I was, lying on the ground doing I can’t remember what, when I heard music. But it was all in my head: The hare rama/hare krishna chant that we teacher trainees did in class with Leah B. Saturday had bubbled up during a moment of peace and relaxation, like a silent lullaby. The funny thing is, it also bubbled up a day later at work during, shall we say, a not so peaceful and relaxing moment. It helped calm me down, as if the mantra was knocking on some sort of door to say, Remember me? Get a grip. It was nice that it popped up spontaneously, but I wondered: What if I can call it up whenever I want? Wherever I am? Sweet.

i just netflixed the tinkerbell movie. (yes, the animated fairy.) in it, she counts to calm herself. so, her fairy friend will be, like, annoying her and she’ll start counting 1, 2, 3, 4 in her little i’m-angry fairy way. it’s like a meditative song spilling up in the mind, i absolutely love it!!
thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!
