For some time now I've not written a word about what's going on with my life and with my yoga practice. Funnily enough, that coincided with being in a relationship and starting to practice Eka Pada. Go figure! I guess, the being in a relationship part is obvious. I have someone to share my thoughts with, a real person who listens to me... and he even occasionally nods his head ;) The Eka Pada link I think is more emotional/psychological. It's a very strong pose for me and one which continues to challenge me. For me (and from my experience) it's about saying "NO", not giving too much away and being more protective of my own needs and thoughts. I've had to work hard to get to where I am in my practice now without relying on flexibility alone. That's the beauty of this practice, that it challenges you were you might be weak. Be it flexibility or strength or any number of things!
I'm totally happy to report that I do feel stronger though. Every day, little by little. I feel ready to start writing again too. Partly because I want to document the Big Adventure my boyfriend and I am about to embark on and partly because my mind is teeming with things to say (creative energy, YAY!) ... AND partly because good friends of mine have recently resurrected their blogs and they've inspired and motivated me by their gorgeous writing. You know who you are :)
So here it is. The next 'book' of Ashtangi analysis and self enquiry! But hopefully, not that heavy!
The title was randomly chosen by a word generator. I like it.
