Attending

Becoming a Companion to Your Own Life

Attending is a lovely word, it’s definition ushers a sweet imperative to my soul. It is, to direct one’s attention; to see; to stay with as a companion; to be present. I heard this word at a training for my kids’ homeschooling program and when I did, I knew right away it is a quality I need more of. Every act in yoga is a practice of learning to attend. The very act of attending offers the kind of connection and union that yoga is intended to be.
