yawning

52 min.

i am aumm-ing 36 rounds (my preamble to meditation) and i just break into huge yawns. at some point, in the midst of one, i feel the jaws are about to break. then i recall. the yogic scriptures say yawning in meditation is a sign that the sahasrar chakra wants to open up. hey, sounds good to me. 

i remain alert and conscious throughout the sitting, spine help upright and tall. for a long time, i thought meditation meant falling asleep. well, well, well, it turns out to be the exact opposite.
