Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know. - Lao Tzu
The more you know. The more you realise you don't know. - Aristotle
In this practice we will explore the mystery of knowledge! We will look compassionately, at the mind, and how for most of us it is running on overdrive, often hindering our ability to get still, and to 'know' directly.
We will take time out to write down or draw out the thoughts, and feelings that arise from our practice.
A practice to Slow ourselves down enough to feel peace of mind.
Please set a sacred space and have a pen and paper handy.
These practices could stand alone but are best in succession.

Video Practice
Crane 1 (30 mins)
Asanas : Mountain pose / standing forward fold / Down dog /
Props : please have a wall space ready to lean against. A pen and paper. A cushion of chair to sit on.
Suitable for beginners
Crane 2 (30 mins)
Asanas : Tree / Triangle / half moon / Cobblers / Bridge / Supine twists
Props: A wall space, a block, and a pen and paper.
Note to beginners - As this practice is so very slow and links part one and two, I feel it could be OK for a beginner. You would need to familiarise yourself with the asanas first though - as I just say 'come into triangle / tree etc. You could leave out or adapt any postures that don't suit, as always, and even just sit and listen as a meditation.
Crane 3 (30 mins)
This is a Slow motion meditation with a short savasana
Please be comfortably seated for 20 minutes and have space to lie down afterwards.
Suitable for beginners
Optional extra!
You will finish this practice with some words that arose from it. When you're done, just for fun cross out any of the following words...
I am / Me / mine / yours / you / should / would / aught / Good / bad / Right / Wrong
Read between the lines a bit and see what might become clear.
Thank you to... and drawing from...
Osho - 'meditation -The first and last freedom'
Alexis Cartwright's - 'animal magic cards'
Nareena Gaia - For consistently reminding me I 'Know' more than I think.
Becky May - Soul buddy.
Sue Owen - Constant Gardener!
David Sye - Slow Motion Meditation.
Rodney Yee - Falling practice.
The Crane.
Please Note -
These Practices are recorded as rough drafts!
They are imperfect and need polishing... But I love them and feel they are worth a share!
Most of the asana practices on this blog are intended for the progression of an established practice of yoga. Over time I will try to add more stuff that is suitable for beginners. This will be clearly labelled as Suitable for beginners.
Its worth revisiting this blog if you are interested in this, as I will be adding more beginners practices to each session as time goes by.
Namaste beautiful's,
Love Julie.
