An impatient session, like I wanted to get to something else, something later in the day. These sessions tend to feel rushed although they take the same amount of time, an unsettled stretch. But not trying to slow it down, just practicing as I am. And sitting at the end, the urges become so very apparent. And the beauty of it is I an not going anywhere, I am sitting still, not doing anything, no matter how I’m feeling. This strong nervous energy generated, felt, at the solar plexus. Breathing with it.

Hittleman has six different postures each day for the beginning of the course, learning them in some detail then repetitions of each, followed by a flow of all six. From his Thoughts of the Day:

Poise, balance, grace and a beautiful carriage emerge naturally from the yoga practice. Stiffness of the joints and limbs, a condition that inhibits poise and good posture are eliminated through stretching.

Krishnamurti, Jan 3:

Words confuse; they are only the outward means of communication; but to commune beyond the noise of words there must be in listening an alert passivity. … It is only in listening one hears the song of words.

Note that Krishnamurti didn’t write for each day of the year; his writings from 1933 to 1968 have been compiled into this Book of Life.
