Save the drama for pranayama

We're into week two of the teacher training (TTC) and people are starting to work out their karma. Some more gracefully than others. I'm trying to manage drama by breathing. I am trying to learn how to do asana with my breath body as oposed to my physical body. I've been a little competitive and over doing it a bit. I have to remember that I'm not 20 and I need to be alot more cautious and mindful in my practice. Like we have a scorpion practice tomorrow, but I'm going to chill out if my arm still doesn't feel good.

We're getting into studying philosophy now. I dig it. Just when you think you have it, it become mercurial and slips away. Some of it can seem contradictory, but if you let it absorb and don't balk at it, I find my mind reconciling it later.

I am pretty stoked for my day off. We're going over to the spa at atlantis for some jacuzzi time and frozen fruit smoothies. Fruit is the big indulgence here. I'm going to do a juice fast in combination with my talking "fast". It's supposed to enhance the depth of the experince.

I weent to a non-violent communication class yesterday. No shanking people there! We did an incredible exercise where we walked around the room and met people in the eye. We'd stand there and each of us would look into our partner's left eye. It was so lovely and moving and meditative. It's a gateway into seeing that we are all one.

My ayurvedic consultation was yesterday. My vatta is pretty wacky. But what areyou gonna do? Well grounding and hot tea seem to be inorder.

Gotta go do home work now.

LOVE!!!
