The Gym

 The Chapel at this monastery is the gymnasium of the heart for me.  It is where my insides exercise in silent prayer.  Even if someone else is there, it is still a place of solitude for me.  When I go to a physical body gym, I might exercise, stretch for an hour.  Do I exercise my heart center each of those days for an hour?  Someday, my body will be dust and ashes, but I believe that my spirit, that awareness within, will live on.  If so, I want it to live healthy so it can enjoy more eternal life.  Nowadays, when I am feeling out of sorts, not up to good energy, dragging, my body is not the problem.  Something else is being ignored and neglected.
