Bring meaning to the practice to stay engaged.
Stability preceeds freedom.
Soften first, then ask “what does this pose have to offer/reveal to me?
Place four corners of foot on one foot- press ball down, and then lift heel and pull back to inner edge
DFD demo- often lose connection- arm bones collapse to floor. stablity preceeds freedom. create boundary you can expand out into. donw ant to fall off edge and lose sense of who we are. if upper back is stiff, look forward

Sat PM
balanced action= energy moving in and out. not static- pulsation. learn to play the edge skillfully.
optimal blue print- not cookie cutter, indiviudal, where balance is optimal for you.
contemplation= be still and be with whatever is. conenct with how it can unfold. reflecting with an receptive mind. leading things arise> creating space for things to arrive. having faith/trust that you know, not thinking something to death.
How:
1. prepare yoursef to ask question.
2. learn to ask clearly.
3. write what immediately arises- what is in your awareness
4. allow that to settle, and extract its essence
5. refine
the process of contemplation helps us to gain clarity. brings sense of freedom and power of transofmration into the moment. helps us to become more fre from incessant thinking. process of self inquiry. listening skills.
Meditiaton- you use all the practices, and then eventually you let them go and all of life becomes meditation, the practice. no separation.
