The Value of Meditation and Yoga

Thanks to both yoga and meditation, I was so able to cope with the Passover holidays. I live in the present and I'm not responsible for anyone, but myself. When my older daughter told me that she wouldn't be on time for the first seder, my response was that we would start without her. Needless to say that she got there on time. When the younger one ate chamatz in my house (Extra Chocolate Mint gum),I didn't acknowledge it. There is an Almighty in heaven. They will deal wit Him, not me at this point in their lives.

As far as he goes, he tried to tell me that he hates the holiday. I love it and at that point, I chose to be quiet, relying on chores to fill the void.

I'm not the same needy person with the Disneyland fantasies that I was last year. I practice Yoga twice a week in a studio. I practice meditation in two different classes. I read, walk, attend book clubs and attend services. I also work full-time.

I'm proud of myself. To celebrate this, I have purchased an OM which I will wear to work proudly on Wednesday when I go back to work.
