In the yogic view, we all hold within our bodies emotions and misguided thoughts that keep us from reaching samadhi, defined by some as "conscious enlightenment." Any sense of unease or dis-ease in the body keeps us from reaching and experiencing this state. Asanas are one path to blissful contentment, working to bring us closer by focusing our minds and releasing any emotional or inner tension in our bodies. Emotions in Motion, By Donna Raskin in Yoga Journal

This article made me think about keeping this spiritual journal. The desire or at least finally getting around to it may have come from my yoga practice. I looked to see if I ever explained what I was doing here. As I look back, I noticed that I just started reflecting; often on items from the archives of Yoga Journal.

There is also a lot of NPR; I have to admit to being a junkie. My commute is less than a half an hour and I usually listen to the news on NPR. Recently I have sometimes felt that I need the silence and have to overcome my news junkie desires. I hear Obi-Wan Kenobi saying, "Trust the force, Luke" and I obey by reaching for the radio and turning it off.

I liked the idea of an electronic journal as errors and vague musings can be corrected and improved. It can also be searched and previous entries can be referenced in the current entry with a hyperlink.

I decided to change the name of my blog today. I liked Peripatetic, One who walks about; a pedestrian; an itinerant but there already is a blog on blogspot with that name and URL. I will see how I like the new title. My current URL is only a problem if one drops the e on aire.
