Asking Eddie about dropbacks

I asked Eddie today, as he came to help me drop back: What do I need to understand about being able to drop back on my own?

Three things he said to me

It takes time
The back needs to open a little more
and
in a few months we will give you some extra exercises, probably walking up and down the wall.

Oh dear, the back bending has been the most humbling proposition of my entire life... I remember doing that with Greg, back on my first year of ashtanga, then not doing it, now again, but "in a few months".

Surrendering is key, so OK, in a few months... maybe one day, ONE DAY, I will do it on my own.

No rush though, I am truly enjoying the whole thing

The wisdom of my flock

I have been volunteering at the Open Center, and I love talking to people I work with, they feel like my flock, everybody totally understands that words are powerful, that we can not speak of lack, and that teachers charging good money for spiritual work is not only cool, it is also important.

It all started as I got caught in a conversation discussing how high were the fees of a certain shaman teacher. I knew that I am now aligned with the Hawaiian teaching that says "bless that which you want", which is the reason why I have been blessing Sarath for charging 700 dollars for yoga in India (cash). After all, what if we could all be happy, doing work we love, serving others, in dharma, and living wealthly off it, isn't that what I want?

Thankfully someone else in the room was able to stop the conversation and re-direct us. She said that perhaps the fees were high because he may want a certain demographic, or because the "perceived value" is what counts, or... none of this made much sense and it made me wonder, what is it that is involved in determining how much a course charges?

All in all, I am glad we got back on the path of blessing this teacher, and allowing abundance to flow to all.

God bless anyone who makes lots and lots of money doing what they love doing.

I ditched yoga today

I ditched yoga today, in a big show of annoyance.

My period was supposed to be here two days ago (and I know it is coming), but it is taking longer, so I guess I had been anticipating my ladies holidays and it makes me very angry that I cannot take them. So today I stayed in bed, annoyed.

Probably not the smartest solution, I know. What can I say, its what I did.
