I know I can do it

I know it is time, I know I can do it, why is it then that I stand in the front of the mat, lift my arms really high, send my hips to the front of the room, and drop back, somewhere in the middle between the ceiling and the floor I get so scared, that I come back and never drop back?

Some advise received in the last 24 hours includes:

a) From a woman in yoga: At home, put pillows and blankets on your bed and drop into it, then start removing pillows and blankets little by little so you get to drop further and further back. Good one, will try

b) Another fellow yogini: When dropping back with the wall, touch it only once as you go back, and only once as you come back. I tried that one this morning... its a miracle I am still alive, yes, lets put it that way, I guess I need more practice.

c) This one comes from Greg. Work on standing up from the back bend first, then the drop back will happen automatically. It is all about strenght in the legs. Haaa? really? that was my reaction by the way

d) This one comes from a potential date. It is all about being aware of the area of your sacrum to whom the whole thing seems counter intuitive. True, I guess this is hoping potential date will give me a private lesson and explain further.

e) From woman number one on the list again. Leave your head back when you are dropping, as soon as you bring it back you lose it all. Sounds simple, but believe me, this one is gooood.

Would like to do this before the end of the century. Yes I know the course in miracles says we are not supposed to control things, but I want to, and I am not perfect. There I said it.

Perhaps I will attempt the Tim Ferris's strategy and go onto to google to find who was the person who dropped back the fastest and in the most efficient way, then interview her.
