taking some time...

It seems so easy to get caught in the rush of it all...do you feel that? In the everyday go go go...it gets a bit much at times and feels like a tornado passing by (continuously)...all it seems one can hear is the whirlwind of life which often gets overlooked and underenjoyed. By resuming my yoga practice at the start of this year, I have found that my time is slowing, just a little mind you...not that it is actually slowing but I am slowing and taking some time. In doing so, it has become clear that there are many things awaiting my awareness and ready to take flight, these were bypassed before and in the bustle of the hustle never even were noticed.

Now is that time.

Here's to hoping you take some time to hear the wind, not the whirlwind, but the real wind, the one in the trees, passing by dropping a whisper in your ear, blowing pollen through your garden...
Go gently you fine folks.

peaceful pain

So since i am reading this i decided that perhaps getting back into bikram yoga might be a good plan on my part.

I have not done this style of yoga for many years...post kids etc., and figured with the combination of heat and stretching this gal would be feeling fantastic in no time.

Well, i went to the 90 minute class on wednesday and on thursday i could barely walk down the hall to make lunches and get wee ones ready for school, then making it up the stairs to the carport was a feat in itself, not to mention walking through the school halls to drop little folks without looking like i had a stick in my bum and could use a cane.

But what i must mention is how completely really great i did feel regardless of muscle aches, my neck and back were so soft and my mind was at peace...ahhh i remember this feeling.

So i was planning to head back within a few days and got a cold, this is passing and so i will revisit the heat and sweating ( i am not normally a sweating kind of gal) and shall go this week. in hopes that the days following will find me walking normally and feeling all the peace within.

Have a great day.
