I generally visualize a triangle at each chakra, and then feel my heartbeat in the center. When I see light pulsing in the darkness, I know that my mind is centering. This effect is what I call a "complex equivilent." In other words, I've trained my mind to provide me with simple symbols for complex and complicated processes in my body-mind dynamic. Darkness might represent fatigue, confusion, conflict, etc. Light might represent energy, clarity, commitment, etc. I don't always consciously know. What I do know is tat the days that the light flows freely, I am way productive and energetic, and luck seems to come my way--especially if I get several of those days in a row, and most especially if I get that light in my 6th chakra.

Today is yoga day, a day of renewal after the #$$-kicking I gave myself yesterday. BTW--afterwards, I coached Nicki through a grueling 24-minute kettlebell workout. She was doing O.K. until we got to "Turkish Get-Ups". She complained that she couldn't understand them, but then when I explained, something clicked in. She really engaged with them emotionally, and seemed to find a little extra uumph, a level of emotional, internal engagement I hadn't seen in her for a while. Me likie that! You have to engage body, mind, and spirit in any activity to get the most out of it, and the physical body is a great place to test this. Way to go Nicki!
