Wandering Mind

Yoga - No, Climbing-Yes. Well at least about 10 minutes of bouldering. I took the Blonde Lady up to the Gunks to show her around and we somehow ended up on a five mile hike. I made a few laps on the warm-up boulder before we left just to keep working my fingers. Felt better today, and I reminded myself to breathe. REW mentioned that she thought asana and climbing would be a good compliment to each other and I think she's right. Although they vary slightly according to the terrain there are "postures" or moves that are repeated in a sequence according to the earth. The longer you practice the more "postures" you learn and develop the skills and condition to do and it always comes back to the breath. You also develop a focus and a sense of peace (once you get past the fear). For me, personally, it also allows me to find a connection with all things. I climb with more ease and focus when, before I climb, I put my hand on the rock, take a breath, and allow myself to feel the connection to the rock and the earth.

And climbing has no moon days...

... but you can get rained out.
