I have tendonitis (right spelling?) in one arm that all started from tripping over a phone cord when holding onto wall to stop myself from falling...arggh! Can I hit the rewind button and somehow step gracefully over that phone cord instead? What lesson have I learned? Once again...pay attention! How is one always "on the ball"? Remembering to breathe helps...moving energy, writing, meditation...sometimes I forget these tools...why? Because part of me wants to run with the wind, and never look back or just twirl around in circles and sing to the sky...sometimes simplicity seems so unreachable the way society is spinning like a top. Can I keep up? Probably, but not without the supplementation of heartcentering activities and non-activities...
I miss yoga! the breathing, stretching, mind-body-soul connection. It brings me back to self and ultimately grounded in a major way...and I feel it helps me make decisions better, concentrate more, causes less worrysome thoughts...helps me live in the present and not freak out about unforseen future...and stuff that will not seem so important in 20 years.
Sometimes the poses seem painful, but not so much if one breathes through it---holding the poses can be tuff, but it's synonymous with life sometimes...when u have to go thru things that feel uncomfortable, but will benefit u in the long run and bring u some kind of stability, love, peace, sense of accomplishment, love for self.
