day 3: In my sisters backyard Leeuwarden

The location for meditation is the backyard of my sisters house. It is nice and sunny and the cat of the neighbours is observing us closely. Marijse, the girlfriend of my sis, is joining me, after our talk yesterday. She knows what yoga can do for her soul and in one way she longs for that but it also is very frighting, the unknown... I feel grateful to share this experience with her and I give her 15 minutes extra sleep, as we don't start at 5 but 5.15, because for me still the hardest part of the sadhana is to get out of bed when I wake up, as I do wake up at 4 o'oclock. The other hard part is to stay awake during the chanting of the mantra's.

I think of strategies to get out of bed more easealy, so I don't need to hurry at that time of the day, as it feels not good to worry about time at 4 or 5 in the morning, that can't be the goal... I remember the affirmations of the first day, act now, live now... they need some more practice ;-)

I feel grateful for her courage to go for the challange and be there and experience.

Today is a meditation on location day. This afternoon Jiwan Shakti (Saskia) and me will go and do a 'vergader met jezelf' session within Postbank and tonight I'll be given two classes and afterwards Adi and me will stay at Jiwan's place.
