Yogi Bhajan used to say, “We’re human Beings, not human Doings.” How many of us take time out of our busy days to actually BE? Even those of us who are committed to a yoga practice often let life pass in a blur. We wake up in the morning, reach for our cup of coffee, rush around to get the kids ready for school, walk the dog, get ourselves ready for work, and so on. Our awakening hours pass in a flash, and we repeat the routine day after day. As the day goes on, we’re so busy running from one activity to the next that we barely have time to stop and take a breath. More often than not, our focus is on BECOMING or HAVING, not on BEING.
