Subject: small space from LEE ANN

[Guest guest]

Lee Ann,

I have been in a practice for many years in the midst of worldly jobs.

Worldly jobs are a wonderful training ground. To use yoga as a tool of self

discovery and centering in our every day tasks is a worthy vocation.

The first thing is: does your husband want to practice yoga or some form of

self-development work? If he does, nothing can stop him. A heart on fire with

the yearning to awaken is what can keep us going in the most difficult

circumstances.

On the other hand, if he is feeling the restrictions of his job, maybe he can

practise enough to make his job bearable until he returns home. Some people in

this forum have recently expressed a feeling of connection with others around

the world. Finding an exercise or mantra that works for him is a good thing,

but showing him he is never alone or separated from you and others practising

yoga is an important part of it. If we believe we are connected, we are

connected. First we have to feel connected to our heart and our inner fire. The

exercises, mantra, or meditation all help to open up this awareness. Explore

with him what he thinks is possible, however small a step it may seem.

I have traveled on the road. Rest areas can be instantly transformed into a

retreat with 1 person in a wooded area practicing yoga. The back of a truck is

an ashram when one closes one's eyes and hears the mantra in every breath.

I hope it works out or leads to a situation that does. There are centers

around the country. Maybe a meditation or yoga class at the end of the run will

help bridge that long road home as we each you follow our inner promptings.

I was woundering if anyone has any ideas for a set for my husband. He is a

long haul truck driver and so on top of his being terribly out of shape, is a

very large man (56" chest and 6' 2"tall) confined to a fairly small space(the

sleeper of a big rig). Any suggestions that you may have would be so

appreciated. Thank you
