Peace & Center
Since my flower reading I have felt changed... I feel suddenly back to my center (which has been so far lost lately that I had forgotten what it feels like)... I am patient with the kids again, I am patient with my husband again... I'm not stressing out over the very little amount of time I get to fit in my work. I can't put my finger on just why I feel this way but something about that reading put my life into perspective.
I had a great primary series practice on Sunday... great mostly because the instructor helped me do dropbacks and I LOVE LOVE LOVE the feeling of dropbacks. I'm not using my legs enough and I definitely need assistance. I can get up using the wall now (usually only once and then I have no more strength) but the feeling of dropping back and coming back up is so wonderful for my back. I just want to come up to standing everyday. I think it releases this spot on my back that I injured in a car accident about 10 years ago.
Tomorrow I've dedicated myself to my first Mysore class with Tim Miller. I'm scared as hell. I don't know why it intimidates me so. I wonder if I should even try to do asanas that I really can't do -- like supta kurmasana or the fact that I can't roll in garbha pindasana (well I can but I usually get stuck or I can't go in a circle). They should have an "The Etiquette of a Mysore Class" instruction manual or something :) So, let's all put out the good thoughts that no child, career or other emergency arises which prevents me from going.
