Jai Bhagwan! Every pose came without effort, there was such relaxation that the right knee slipped wrong during surya namaskar and there was a bit of muscle pain associated with it. Tightened legs protected the knee. Deep liquid heat ran down the outside of the right thigh and into the knee during [...] Jai Bhagwan! I am not a fan of changing from Standard to Daylight Savings and back again. Usually, however, it is the change to Daylight Savings that causes me problems. Here in the US, we returned to Standard Time early Sunday morning. Since Sunday, I have felt more and more tired and [...] Jai Bhagwan! Do you love the skin you’re in? I hope you answer yes to that question. My last few practices have revolved around this, around loving this body of mine; not because it’s healthy and looks good in t-shirt (does it?) but simply because I love it. Don’t practice because you [...] Jai Bhagwan! Very unusual experience this morning. Coming into the second half of the pose there was nothing. There was no mind, no energy, no pain, only breath echoing hollowly through vast emptiness. There was heat, but it was outside. There was, at times, Prana but it seemed dormant, waiting for . [...] Jai Bhagwan! Vigorous muscle tremors coming out of Pada Hastasana and Prasarita Padottanasana Quiet mind chattering during the 1st half of the pose, 2nd half of the pose brought unyielding waves of Prana rushing up the body and washing over the mind, leaving a blank slate. Let go of the “need” to go [...] Jai Bhagwan! Despite the evidence here, I have been practicing daily. I would like to say that life has been so busy that I simply did not have time to write; however, that would be a lie. I simply allowed myself to become consumed with something trivial and mind numbing which I [...] Jai Bhagwan! When I decided to split my blogs again and dedicate this blog as my sadhana journal, I determined that I would write about every day’s sadhana. You will notice that there is no entry for Saturday nor for Sunday. I decided to let Saturday’s parctice slide, that was an unfortunate mistake [...] 3:40 AM–Alarm sounds. Body and mind agree that staying in bed is the answer, determination says that someone is asking the wrong question. Bloated belly. Belly focus is not inward focus. Low back and thighs still incredibly tight from Friday. Allowing Saturday’s sadhana to slide was an unkindness. Despite belly bloat and violin [...] Jai Bhagwan! Today’s sadhana was at the local community center which doubles as physical education space for the local high school. Just started the first round of surya namaskar when a loud gaggle of teenagers ran past. Today’s intention was ruthless determination in the postures. I had Wednesday’s class hold each pose [...] Saturday, 26 September 2009 Sharp, constellation of sensation at the lower tip of the left scapula. Focused frequently on that sensation to try stilling a very loud mind, not entirely successful. Monday, 28 September 2009 Used strong ujayi breath with opening or closing the eyes to drop out of thought. Holding each [...] |
