Meditation/Ultimate Ohm

The smallest particulars vibrate to the sound of Ohm.
I really enjoyed making the "Ohm" sound in class. Dividing it into three parts was a clever way to help us learn to make the sound properly and it was calming. Below is my reflection from my yoga notebook on the meditation.

"I had some back pain so it was a little hard to focus during the meditation, but overall I felt my body relax, not as concentrated on my breathing as the exercise probably intended, but I liked making the Ohm/Ahm sounds. When I make them it's nearly impossible to focus on anything else."

The heart quality I had chosen for the practice that day was Acceptance, and also Patience. I need to be more accepting of the circumstance in my life currently, and patient that they will work out eventually. I need to stop rushing to try to fix and patch things up quickly. Some problems and people take time to heal.

Also the back pain was resolved by the end of class that day which was a relief. I'd been very sore after Mondays exercise but I currently am not sore or in any pain anywhere so Wednesday helped to work out the kinks. Looking forward to next class!
