The other day I found out something that I was not supposed to know
and got upset. I was pissed off really taking this personally then
reacted from a place of feeling lack, not being recognized or
considered in this situation. This was not the best choice for me to do
but then I went to my car and realized with a little space from the
situation that I totally reacted and didn't take a moment to actually
turn in to myself and breathe knowing there is an abundant universe.
Taking this to my mat into my practice I could see how I move fast
in a pose almost like a reaction instead of staying with my breath
working through it. As the holidays come closer check to see if you are
moving from your ego body or your bigger sense of the whole this is a
great practice especially when in a place of discomfort. Yoga is about
responding with knowledge and from a space of feeling connected to
something bigger inside and out to do this in the practice we initiate
the poses from the back body allowing the front to be soft and
sensitive.
