Happy Tuesday! Happy Autumn! Happy OneWebDay! Happy National Yoga Month!
As you can see, I have a lot to be happy about this month. It is a really sweet September because I am joining the Next Chapter Book Blogging Group (http://tnc-thejoydiet.blogspot.com). Our latest reading adventure is with The Joy Diet by Martha Beck. I love Martha’s column in The O Magazine. Click here to read Martha’s blog: http://marthabeck.com/blog.
The Next Chapter Book Blogging Group started on September 18. Click here to learn more about what the Group has been doing since the official start date: http://tnc-thejoydiet.blogspot.com/2009/09/welcome-to-journey.html.

I started reading The Joy Dieton September 11. The first chapter encourages readers to do nothing for 15 minutes. I call it my do-nothing experience. So far, I have been doing no-thing in the morning as a pre-meditation session. I wake up and allow myself 15 minutes to just be. In this state, I don’t resist the whirling thoughts moving through my brain. I just let them go where they want to go. I start my 15 minutes in one of my favorite yoga poses called Balasana (child’s pose) and move into Savasana (corpse pose).
On September 12, I filmed a webisode about reading The Joy Diet and the Next Chapter Book Blogging Group for my OneWebDay 22 Countdown Campaign sponsored by kg yoga life practices (http://kgyoga.blogspot.com). See the video above. OneWebDay was established in 2006 on September 22 honor the presence and power of the Internet in our lives. Click here for more information: www.onewebday.org.
I’ll be posting another blog post about my adventures for Week 2 later in the week.
Thank you for stopping by!
Peace, Joy, OneWebDay, Creativity and Yoga OMs,
Ananda
