Falling from... headstand, grace intact.


I have discovered that practising headstand for a few months in my own private yoga room is really "pressure" free. I can be safe to wobble, with the comfort of my slanted ceiling there to catch me and love me. 


Sanskrit-lish?

wish I could download Sanskrit into my brain with a click of a button.
 It baffles me how so many people in the local yoga community can use the terms. I hardly know the names of the poses in English, I feel reincarnations away from knowing them in Sanskrit.

Universal Self Love

 

I Love this body
       this  being
       this    soul 

Remarkable oneness 

   Full of crevasses 
          Life force 
              Breath 
                Love 

Water flowing 

Forsaken it with thoughtless sabotage
                  Forgiven 
                  Forgotten

Forgiveness    

Rooted in the earth 

Deep breath - deep smile 

         Gratitude


Caressing this being

            Is the softness of the wind  

    The strength of the wind 

    The stillness
                   of the wind


Quietly
         Lovingly
                    Peacefully

The sun 
      Shinning
               Intensely   
              Comforting
               Nurturing 

      Sustaining        
                   daily 
                Lovingly 
              Peacefully 
             Acceptingly 

      Such is this  body 
              this being
              this  soul 


Completely.

Letting Go ...of my aversion to feet. Sort of. Eventually.


Tonight, the male yoga teacher stood on the back of my hands with his BARE(!!) feet.. And I didn't die.. Or throw up.. Or become infected with any of the toxins that get released from the bottom of the feet.
