Impact of Recession

The interesting topic now-a-days in the office premises and outside is about the economic downturn and economic recession in giant economics.
It all started with the news that Lehman brothers declared bankruptcy . My job is neither in financial industry nor I'm in the USA - so why should I get worried about this ?
(A good joke on Lehman brothers:
US President George Bush: I am saddened to hear about the demise of Lehman Brothers. My thoughts go out to their mother as losing one son is hard but losing two is no doubt a tragedy.)

Then it started one by one - and in few days my organization also came out with the news that the impact on our business is huge and with a decreasing dollar value how it's killing us.

Initially I did not get the maths in this. When I got that when we've quoted any product for Rs. X (thinking $1=Rs.40 in August time frame) and getting actually 80% of $ value (By this time $1=Rs50), it really hit me hard. It's very difficult that we can sustain in this kind of scenario.

By next 2-3 weeks people started talking about this and the trend I saw is that everyone started thinking about the worst possible scenario and getting scared in their life - as if this has already happened and true for them.

(I also found that this is the way we live our life - let there be any situation and we're scared about the worst possibility and that really eats us up).

This is the time when I found where I'm actually living my life powerfully. There is no imagination, no positive thinking, there is no day dreaming that everything is going great. I could see myself grounded on what it is in reality. If my job is going on, if my family is happy, if my kid is happy and joyous - this is what I've right now. I don't know what may happen in future - whatever will happen will happen. Nothing can stop it. Then why to worry about that.

There is this grounding that is really making me happy and living a tension free life.

Not the mind

Today I was doing the most loved section of the yogasan session - Yoganidra. After an hour's sweating session, I really needed that break. Today even after the Suryanamaskar, our teacher did not allow us to have sabashan - we're standing eyes closed and regained the breath.
In the Yoganidra I had a different experience than other days. My experience till date was to take my mind from one limb to the other and get the awareness of that portion. Today what happened during this period was my whole body along with the mind was lying in the floor, and something else was watching the limbs - it was not the mind. I did experience that my body has actually melt down in the floor and something was going to all the limbs and seeing those portions.
