A few observations..

Very often lately I hear things in class that I have "Aahaa!" moments with.



I have been thinking deeply about how to achieve the balance in self observation and growth. Sometimes I feel like all I do is ruminate on my own self and how to make me better or stronger or whatever..

While laying in belly down Savasana you often hear that you should focus your eyes on your towel somewhere, not letting the stray to the mirror or other practitioners etc. Yesterday something to the affect of "you don't need to look at yourself in Savasana, only within the posture is it necessary." was said.

AaHhaaa!

Also, I practiced in the afternoon yesterday. Afternoon practice is always more fun, your body is more open and your able to go a little deeper then you would in the morning. And I did indeed get a little deeper, which resulted in a massive release in energy and goodness only knows what else. Last night I thought I was quite sore, until I really started to think about it. I realized.. I wasn't sore, I was uncomfortable and my body felt foreign. My body (emotional and physical) is learning to move in new ways. I think the discomfort I feel after a really deep class is my body's reaction; its part fear and part growth.

I am not sure I was able to convey that properly.. but I did my best!
