Imperfect

spideyYoga today…fabulous as usual.  Not always do we do a mantra or a chant.  Not always do we do a meditation.  This is what I love about kundalini and kriya – it’s different every time.  There are so many different sets for moving energy that I have yet to repeat one in the 8 months I’ve been there.

Today, as my yogi explained the mantra chant to the class…I thought I should have eaten a better breakfast.  The chant sounded something like: haht haht haht haht haht haht e das.  What I found myself hearing instead was: hag hag hag hag hag hag en das.  Rather than being all zen and in the moment, I was thinking of creamy frozen goodness.

Then a thought occurred to me.  Spiritual practice is not perfect.  The fact that I attempt to improve my spiritual practice is perfect.  Accept and let go of judgement – especially of self.   And so, as I chanted to the gods of Slow Churned Mint Chip, I found my zen.

hag hag hag hag hag hag en das.
