I woke up this morning with a dream of being sick :( I haven't been able to decide if I feel a little down or if I'm believing it 'cause I dreamt it. I hope it's the latter 'cause I have a big weekend ahead of me!!!

Right after the realization of the dream, came the realization that the thing I have been thinking about first upon waking for the past little while here wasn't there. Score 1 for the day.

I went to practice... did my whole practice. Wierd vibe in the room today. I think the vibe was mine, awareness now of something I haven't been aware of in a long time... myself. I'm not sure whether I think this is an issue and I should take a closer look or spend my time really seeing what the awareness brings with it. There's something to be said for that too.

I had a very different adjustment in kapotasana today. The assistant helped me. I went into it on my own. I have a very strange way of getting into kapotasana but it is the only way that has felt okay since surgery. I put my hands on my hips. I cannot go over the head yet with my arms. Once I can see ground, I put my right arm down (the one that didn't have the surgical problem) and sorta twist my shoulder... then I can put the weight in that hand and put my left hand down... where I then walk my fingers in until I feel something. Anyway... the only adjustment was this really nice push-in and down of my elbows. It really allowed me to walk my own fingers up until I had most of my foot in my hand.

During practice, at some point, I was thinking about the experience of love. I was thinking about how that experience for me is all energy. It's nearly indescribable, it's an exchange of energy with someone that has no words associated with it. Any type of love - motherly, romantic, friendship. This got me to thinking about how rare it is to meet someone and have an instant awareness of the other's energy (not necessarily love, in a much more new-agey, energy way). Then I became aware that monkey mind had set in and I let it go.

So, after practice, when I picked up my phone and saw a Facebook friend request I had the instant realization of energy that totally tripped out my day. Since I didn't know the requestors name and I couldn't see the profile until I drove home, I found it interesting that I was absolutely right when I instantly knew who it was. Not an old friend, not even someone I met in my recent socializations but a passing that occurred, one that had no context behind it. Which picked up the monkey mind of earlier about energy and how we are all so aware of each other's energy if we'd just pay attention. I was right, by the way. Things like that trip me out.

We are all just energy.
