He helped me re-route grape vines to make a canopy over a sunny area in the back west woods.\u00a0 He picked up a lot of the branch deadfall and stacked it in the firepit area as I swept off the back porch.\u00a0 Part of the silence is also not making eye contact, to give each other complete privacy. It\u2019s a powerful practice, forcing one to choose carefully what needs to be said and what does not.\u00a0 It\u2019s amazing how much does NOT need to be said. I\u2019m not talking about a vow of silence forever, this is just taking a week\u2019s break at a time to reboot the body, mind and spirit.\u00a0 My house is feeling like a yogi\u2019s home again, after a year of being a householder.\u00a0 I loved it then, and I love it Now.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"s-share-buttons\" class=\"horizontal-w-c-circular s-share-w-c\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/its-inspiring-to-share-space-with-someone-who-has-the-same-daily-sadhana-i-have\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to Facebook\" class=\"s3-facebook hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?text=It\u2019s inspiring to share space with someone who has the same daily sadhana I have&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/its-inspiring-to-share-space-with-someone-who-has-the-same-daily-sadhana-i-have\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Twitter\" class=\"s3-twitter hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/share?url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/its-inspiring-to-share-space-with-someone-who-has-the-same-daily-sadhana-i-have\/\" target=\"_blank\"  title=\"Share to Google Plus\" class=\"s3-google-plus hint--top\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/its-inspiring-to-share-space-with-someone-who-has-the-same-daily-sadhana-i-have\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Share to LinkedIn\" class=\"s3-linkedin hint--top\"><\/a><div class=\"pinit-btn-div\"><a href=\"\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\" data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\"  data-pin-color=\"red\" title=\"Share to Pinterest\" class=\"s3-pinterest hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\" async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script><a href=\"mailto:?Subject=It\u2019s%20inspiring%20to%20share%20space%20with%20someone%20who%20has%20the%20same%20daily%20sadhana%20I%20have&Body=Here%20is%20the%20link%20to%20the%20article:%20https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/its-inspiring-to-share-space-with-someone-who-has-the-same-daily-sadhana-i-have\/\" title=\"Email this article\" class=\"s3-email hint--top\"><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I forgot how totally cool it is to share space with someone who has the same basic\u00a0sadhana, or daily practice I have.\u00a0 A friend has been visiting and mostly keeping to himself in the master suite, working on a writing project.\u00a0 Twice a day\u00a0we\u2019ve been doing yoga and meditation together.\u00a0 He\u2019s doing silence this week [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41043","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41043","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41043"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41043\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41044,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41043\/revisions\/41044"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41043"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41043"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/horizonsmagazine.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41043"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
