Fluidity and Stickiness

Water is very fluid and moves quickly and easily compared to honey. Honey is quite sticky and flows slowly and deliberately compared to water. Your mind is capable of being in the state of either of these two substances; consider these two scenarios.

Thoughts, emotions, sensory details, and other information slip and flow through your mind with little attachment (like water).

Thoughts, emotions, sensory details, and other information get a little stuck in your mind, holding focus for some time before eventually and with some difficulty flowing out (like honey).

When is it useful for your mind to be in these two states? What kind of yoga on the mat will help you practice these two ways of being in your mind?  There is a richness and a depth to yoga on the mat that allows you to find what you need for your own balance and harmony. How and what will you practice for your mind today?
