Sickness

I've been sick. Reallly, nastily sick. And the worst of it is that my throat hurts even worse when I breathe deeply and so I've found it impossible to do yoga. :( and it feels like my soul has been fasting. I am so hungry for air and for yoga.

My best yoga happens when I am balanced. And when I'm not balanced I feel that most keenly when I do yoga. I can feel it. I can sense it in the discomfort of my movements and the wobbling of my foundations. 

It's an unsettling feeling to know that when I do yoga I will be able to tell where I stand emotionally and spiritually and physically. It's scary to want to do that. It's easier to just shut your ears to the truth sometimes and pretend everything is okay. But yoga won't let you do that. You have to face things exactly as they are and work through them. It's hard work. Yoga isn't easy. Sometimes it's not even fun. But I'm always grateful when I've done it and I feel stronger and more full. It's like reading your scriptures or saying your prayers. Hard work. Sometimes a little uncomfortable to see where you're standing. But always worth it and you always feel better afterwards. :)
