I keep wishing I could just put everything and everyone on hold in my life so I could just focus on yoga... but i realize that the real challenge is to be doing this despite what is going on in our day to day. Not to mention the uninvited things that pop up like a jack in a box from our past! I think that's part of the awake meditation, things come up, you aren't supposed to run out of the hot room, so you face them and gotta let them go, sometimes with tears. Anyway... as Joe Cocker would say... gonna try with a little help from my friends. xoHMachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18263120303009222243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828253133015745847.post-75340560816972782702011-11-13T12:02:29.185-08:002011-11-13T12:02:29.185-08:00thank you both for you amazing words of support:) ...thank you both for you amazing words of support:) my head is in a better place today - thank you colleen for the happiest and healthiest class i've had in a long time this morning and claire - look forward to the 4pm :) everything is as it should be xoalways come back to the yogahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811294496738344852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828253133015745847.post-57327172461180653402011-11-11T06:19:47.957-08:002011-11-11T06:19:47.957-08:00Sweetpea! You are being so honest and open. It is...Sweetpea! You are being so honest and open. It is really so very touching to read. Isn't it amazing how we really do "know" what we need and yet we resist it so much. You really do KNOW. I can tell by what you've written.<br /><br />I was going to write some words of encouragement and then I see that Claire has said the perfect thing...so I will leave it at that.<br /><br />Keep doing the yoga, keep writing, keep crying...it's all good.<br /><br />Love ColleenColleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04895281070117999438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2828253133015745847.post-54686107171603144692011-11-11T01:56:52.877-08:002011-11-11T01:56:52.877-08:00Aww....

I know you know this but best thing is to let it out with a big, ugly cry. It's not pretty but you will feel so much better afterwards. I had to learn to cry - it is hard for most of us as we have been so conditioned not to. And if you need any more encouragement, it releases tension from the face and makes us look younger :)<br />I wonder why our brains force our bodies to absorb the bad feelings and emotions? Bikram (and BKS Inyengar) talks about the mind and body fighting each other all the time. A posture like Standing Head to Knee trains the mind to control the body.<br />If you were in teacher training right now, Noemie, experiencing anger towards Bikram, he would say, "I know you hate me, sweetheart, but I am your best friend". Imagine the strength of the man! He faces 350 trainee teachers all hating him for making them feel like you do right now.<br />Everything is as it should be<br />xx ClaireClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13093350062355685683noreply@blogger.com
