Happy
Posted in ashtanga yoga on 12/15/2005 09:32 am by karenIs there anything cooler than a Moon Day? I think not. That two extra hours of sleep really makes me happy. I actually feel awake this morning. I wonder if Guruji has anything to say about sleep–whether 8 hours is optimal, whether an attachment to sleep might be a problem, etc. I know I’ve read that the Dalai Lama sleeps very little. How does someone get into the swing of that, I wonder? I had a professor in grad school who could never sleep more than 4 or 5 hours a night. He thought it was something of a curse, to so often be awake when everyone around him was asleep. I thought it was pretty cool, though. Think of all the extra things you could get done. And I remember his home, which was always incredibly clean. I guess at a certain point, all that’s left to do in the middle of the night is dust every surface in your house.
