Ha! I go into a bathroom stall at work too. I have to use the handicapped stall so there is room for my arms.

I occasionally furtively Shiva in the bathroom stall at work. I wait until no-one else is in there, just in case one of my arms flails (The Flailing, I love it) above the partion. I may start to furtively Shiva on my morning walk to the store aka The Banana Run.

Ha! Furtive Shiva-ing on public footpaths?

I once did it in the San Francisco library …

And also at a Nina Hagen concert.

The thing for me was realising I’m not the only one doing furtive Shiva-ing on public footpaths.

Phew.

You had me spitting out my tea, followed by frantic head nodding at the Shavasana interruptus. So, now that it has a name, what to do about it?

“There’s the swirly, buzzy, crunchy-peanut-buttery sensation. The weirdly addictive mental fatigue.”

What a great description Anna. And the wanting, longing for epiphany is so familiar. As is the pull to get on with my day… it is nice to know I am not alone in this.

Wow – I totally relate to this.

So often I start to meditate after practice and my busy side starts to hover nearby, creeping closer and closer until I can’t ignore it and I go back to work.

Thank you for giving me a whole new way to look at this pattern and play with it and try different things.

Anna, I’ve totally been doing this. Especially the bit about “web-surfing because I’m too tired to do anything but unwilling to not do anything.” And trying to skip the meditation bits (I originally typed “medication”) so I can just go have my fun epiphanies already and get back to work. And then resisting messing with my stuff, because why disrupt this fine, obviously perfect balance I’ve established? Thank you for writing about your findings! Very encouraging to know I’m not alone.
