The mountain sees and hears the swirl around it.
Inner mountain is a practiced steadiness amidst it. It is a steadier presence to all including hardships, “bad” days, sadnesses, angers, and fear.
We can use any number of means to come back to this inner mountain–our breath, asanas or poses, meditation, reflection on sacred texts, chanting….
It, like a muscle, is strengthened with practice.
It is not a goal we reach or a skill we master.
Inner mountain is an on-going practice.
