A saying commonly attributed to Heraclitus that I love says: “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.”
The same is true of our practice. Each time we step onto the mat, sit in meditation, or pause to notice our breath, we bring a slightly different body, mind, and set of circumstances. The practice may be familiar, but our experience of it is never exactly the same. It’s ever fresh. Judith Lasater says “Every breath is an experiment, because we’ve never breathed it before.”
How is your sadhana supporting you? I’d love to hear about it. If you don’t currently have a personal practice, or your existing practice no longer fits your needs, I’d be happy to help you explore what might support you now.
