The moment you become accustomed to the way things are, everything changes.
The Practice
Morning meditation - 30 minutes
Yoga - 30 minutes
Evening meditation and class at a new place- 1 hour and 20 minutes
Reflection
Going to new places to meditate really wigs out the mind. The mind habituates to old places very quickly. "Oh, I know this cushion. I know that window. I'm home." Whenever it's at a new place, it goes, "Do I feel comfortable here? Do they know what they're doing? Will I come back again?" And then I settled, opening up my heart and mind. It was even easier to see how much time I spend in my head versus here in reality. And then I was in reality.
The change in perspective was immediately followed by "who am I?" The question is always lurking in the background, not wanting to be answered, but played with and known.
