Version 1 Level 1
I am going to be taking this yoga class nice and slow, so I fully master it and can get all I can out of this class. I will be starting Level 2 tomorrow and I will probably need to take a few days to get OK at it. I know I probably won't have it mastered in that time but I least I will be able to have a basic understanding of it. I don't know how much time I did this session for, because I forgot to check and see when I started, but I'm thinking it was somewhere around ten minutes.
At first I just noticed the crickets and a dog barking. Then I started hearing the cars driving in the distance, the light breeze, and some leaves rustling on the ground. I noticed my own breathing and an apple fell off a tree. I heard a dog walking behind me, his collar was jingling. I then picked up on the faint noise of my breathing. A baby or something screamed and I heard faint talking in the distance. I slowly got more and more relaxed until I was so relaxed I didn't want to get up. It was very pleasurable. I also heard a car door shut, someone walk up onto my porch at my front door, and my mom enter the house shortly after. I heard different types of birds chirping and even some different bugs making different noises that I couldn't otherwise tell apart. I'm sure I'm missing some sounds but I think that gives you a general idea of what I heard. I thought it was really a great exercise, and it really opened my eyes about how many things go unnoticed.
Again, I loved doing this. It made me feel very relaxed and I felt energized after I was done. Hopefully, this type of awareness will carry over so that I'm aware most of the day as I practice more.
QUESTION: even though we only have to post about one version, should we still do all of the versions?
