The Mirror

Notice one thing clearly. Then return to life.

What would you like to notice right now?

All five mirrors

Where the mind goes

Name the pulls that took your attention today.

What stops you

The nine things that come between a person and their practice.

Who your heart beats for

Where you think more happiness lives, and whom your heart beats for most of the time.

The states of mind

Donkey, monkey, butterfly, and what lies past them.

Five breaths

Rate your attention, breathe, rate it again. Watch it move.

Kala, the playroom

Eleven small games

Kolam, magic squares, secret letters, a verse that arrives in pieces, and Avadhana, where the assembly all want something different held in your head at once.

Games drawn from the sixty-four kalas. The mirrors above show you your attention; these ask you to use it.

Each one takes a minute. Aaptha Mithra is the same noticing, kept over weeks.
