  Reading and reference
I bought two books:
  • Anatomy of Hatha Yoga: A Manual for Students, Teachers, and Practitioners by H. David Coulter. Alan Little recommends this book as essential to any serious yoga student.
  • Full Catastrophe Living: Using the Wisdom of Your Body and Mind to Face Stress, Pain, and Illness by Jon Kabat-Zinn. This book demonstrated the value of meditation in dealing with life's suffering through work with patients at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center. It's quite useful as a manual, with step-by-step exercises and activities. I used Kabat-Zinn's mindfulness tapes (really CDs) for a couple of years, and now regret that I did not accompany them with the book.
  • 600 and 400 pages, respectively. Looks like I have my bedtime reading booked for the rest of the year.

    I thrive when exploring new realms of knowledge and experience.

    "The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye. One seeing, one knowing, one love."
             — Meister Eckhart

    "Life is like a ten-speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use."
             — Charles Schultz

    "You become a writer by writing. It is a yoga."
             — R.K. Narayan, Indian writer

    Men cannot see their reflection in running water, but only in still water.
            — Chuang Tzu, philosopher (c. 4th century BCE)

    Many people hear voices when no-one is there. Some of them are called mad and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.
