It Is A Practice

Mommy Daughter Backbending 2008

About two years ago The Daughter and I took a backbending picture. This is two years later... a little harder to get her whole body inside of mine but still... a lovely moment.

Pulled an all nighter again last night. Work is tough and I'm really on the fence about the value of doing what I'm doing. If I had more of a fair share of equity in the company, I'd have no problems but weighing the cut salary, the amount of equity I do have and my power to effect change (as well as the attitude and respect level I feel I receive from the people who do own the company) I'm not sure the weights are equal anymore. As a result of the all nighter, I didn't get up for practice this morning but I planned to head to first series at the health club tonight to make it easy on myself. I took a nap around 4 even to prepare.... only when I got there they had changed the class for one night only to start at 5:30 instead of 6 and it was way too late to show up late... so I very angrily went home, hemmed and hawed and finally just put my mat down in my office and started with sun salutation one... unpleasant, monkey mind, anger... and by the time I got to Parvottanasana I was much better.

I decided I would only do my second series practice... I really wanted to get some attempts in at Bakasana B tonight. And wouldn't you know... I landed Bakasana B and I held Bakasana B.. not once, not twice... not three times but a buch of times. It takes me a few tries each time... but I finally figured out I have to spread my feet wider, crouch my chest to my thighs and then jump... it isn't beautiful... but it is correct....

Oh now to learn how to exit it.....

Yay! Go Julie! Beautiful landing.

What a wonderful picture. :)

That's freakin' awesome!

Nice work Julie! And thanks for sharing!! I've been augmenting my practice recently with some reading, and I'd like to share a book with you that might offer you some new insights. It’s called Harmonic Wealth and it’s all about finding harmony in your life in all areas - financial, relational, mental, physical, and spiritual. It has some really good tips about how to engage all five pillars (or areas) of your life, and to learn more about how they complement each other. Rather than dealing with each issue individually, maybe take a look at the bigger picture.
Here’s the link to that book I recommend: harmonicwealth.com/read
