I had a quick but good session at the Y early this morning (worked up to 192#x3 on the squat and blasted through a super set of sumo deads and walking lunges) so that I could make it to a day-long meditation workshop at the Cambridge Insight Meditation Center with a dear friend. I originally started meditating on my own during my last pre-competition period when I was incredibly stressed out about my diet and training and school and sought out meditation as a sanity-saving device. I think it helped then and since I picked it back up this summer I have learned a ton more about meditation practices and techniques and seen the effect of daily meditation in my own sense of calm and ease about life.
Today's workshop was really wonderful, and I'm glad I spent my day there. I am also glad that I am now laying on my couch with plans to do nothing for the rest of the evening. I don't have anything insightful to say, so I thought I'd share this lovely piece I came across the other day on what bodies really, actually look like.
