108 update for today: My status? Tired, but happy. Yesterday's practice really knocked me out and today I joined my downstairs neighbours for a 108 starting at 7am. We did it Anthea's way: basic surya namaskar holding downward dog for five breaths every sixth sun salutation. It feels monotonous for the first half, but then you get into a nice rhythm and it becomes really meditative and effortless. As we were going through the repetition of surya namasakar A, I kept thinking about the conversation I had on the weekend with Antoine, a yoga instructor from the Art of Living Foundation. We were talking about the different ways I usually do the 108 and I explained how I like to change it up and do different postures so that my practice is balanced and so I don't get bored. He said smiling, "Sometimes it's good to get bored." He's right. It's a great challenge for the mind. It helps us train the mind to be stable and still.
Campaign update & Upcoming events: I'm still raising money for the Canadian Institute for the Blind until the end of May. I have a bunch for community practices coming up to help me fund-raise. The schedule is pasted below. Hopefully, you can make it out to one of the practices. If you can't and are interested in sponsoring me, here's the link to my CNIB fund-raising page and you can make a donation online: http://bit.ly/amEge5
