So, it's Day 25 of the Rama Lotus 40 Day Yoga Challenge, and I have completed 22 classes. Not bad. I have 18 classes to go in 15 days. It's gonna be busy, but it feels doable. I've been kinda plodding through the past three days, because my left shoulder is quite sore from the H1N1 vaccine I received on Monday. Hopefully, the shoulder will kind of fall in line (as it were) sooner than later.
So, Survivor is just awesome, as usual. I started out this season feeling kind of blah, and hating Russell, oh how the underdog spin can change your feelings about a player.
Starting on November 6th we were called upon in class to practice the yoga of ahimsa (a simplification), which translates as 'non-violence' to living things, including yourself. We were tasked with taking on a realistic adventure, so, I chose to create a habit of daily flossing. It's only taken me 31 years to do this regularly, not bad (she says sheepishly). Anyway, I completed the two weeks straight of the flossing, and it's stuck. Success! Living the principle of ahimsa inspired me tremendously during this time period to find other ways to incorporate this in my life.
This next two week period, I'm practising "satya", which means truth. So, I'm now going to be brutally honest all the time. NOOOOO!!!! You still have to be compassionate, to be a good little yogi. :)I've taken on a manageable challenge, and will report back on the results in a later blog.
Thanks "K" for Hatha Beginner on Monday. As always, wanna join me for a yoga class at Rama, let me know, it totally helps the motivation.
Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
