Meditation

Is it possible to achieve a meditative state through Hatha Yoga?

There is something about holding a pose and concentrating on the breath that helps clear the mind of clutter.

There is something about inhaling for one motion, and exhaling for another, that prevents extraneous thoughts from creeping in, the dangling participle of not-enough.

Some days, it is asking a lot to breathe, and to observe, and to hold still.

When I am in Mountain, I am not inactive. I am not just standing there. I am focused on how well my feet are planted, how well I hold my posture, and how sturdy I am. It is a restful pose, but not a weak one.

Today I will be a mountain inside and out. Today I will practice strength in ordinary ways.
