The hills are alive!

From time to time, I'd have what I call special moments.

My special moment happened during my Ananda yoga lesson today :)
As usual, I was the stiffest student in class. Ha!

The class was extremely enjoyable as it combines meditation with the movement of yoga postures. What's also interesting was that with each pose, the instructor would list out its benefits to our digestive system, spleen, lymphatic system, etc. It was most educational.

I enjoyed this session tremendously, especially the meditation bits. That's when my special moment occured.

There was this window in the classroom that I could stare out of every time I open my eyes at the end of a meditation cycle.

Outside, a breeze is blowing. The trees sway rhythmically to the tempo of the wind.

I feel calm yet very alive.
I felt excited and hopeful all at once.
I felt as Maria did when she ran up the Alpine(?) slopes singing "The HILLS are alive....." in The Sound of Music.

Had I not been seated, I'd probably be jumping up and down with the adrenaline rush. Is this what meditation's supposed to make one feel?

When I close my eyes now, I could still see that scene perfectly before my eyes and feel exactly the same as I did this afternoon. Interesting...
