Intention deals with the present moment. It is the deepest root of why we do what we do. Our future can be traced back to moment by moment decisions and/or choices. The choices we make moment by moment paint the landscape of our future. By connecting to our intentions we can begin to orchestrate our future. We experience stimulus and then we respond. Between these two there can be a space—a conscious choice.
The practice of yoga and meditation can expand the space between stimulus and response. This space can allow us to see clearly our intention behind our response. We can catch ourselves in the process of inappropriate action and change our destiny. Moment by moment awareness and acting from right intention can lead to a more fulfilling and happier life—a life which we cause less harm to ourselves and to the world we live.
Today is day 31. I practiced this morning for the 29th time. My body is feeling pretty awesome, but what I’m enjoying even more is my clarity of thought.
