My Yoga Practice---Heart Opener and Cherry Stone

Famous bench in the village in St Guilhem le desert in France

17/Jan/2015

Cor blimey, that was good practice. I go to Jacqui's class quite often, but doesn't get any easier on her plank sequence! Still find it hard work. Gets intense and but timing of the release is beautiful. Love it.

Today's savasana was fantastic and very trippy! I love that when I have savasana like that. All seem to depends on what's been going on my life and myself both mentally and physically. I had a bit pissed-off also stressed week....

I was a bit pissed off on Wednesday at work, our team meeting. I felt like one of my colleagues /support workers criticised my work. I know now, she probably didn't mean it, but I sometimes take things seriously and personally, I took it as a personal attack ( I was doing  it to myself, silly me...). I spoke to a couple of my colleagues and I felt a bit better, still, I wasn't happy.  Without shit like this, work is stressed ( b'cause I'm perfectionist, doesn't help...) enough, I really didn't need it. That was why I was really looking forward to my practice, moving my body!!!

On savasana, I felt an invisible cherry stone (not sure why that was...) came out from my mouth and physically I needed to open my mouth. Soon after that, I saw a sliver spoon lightly tapped my throat and chest. What did those mean?

I left the studio feeling a bit cheerful. Walked back home, looking up the sky and admiring beautiful shining stars and Pleiades. (I used to do that when I was on my way home being off my head...)

Following morning (6:30am - 8:00am), only myself in the studio with Yoda (Jacqui), had chat and she did a mini-workshop (ended up like that!) to splits and heart openers. It was a short class but I could not tell you how much I felt better after that.

I shared this on 12 step yoga class on the evening. Jacqui's feed back made me "WOW". Amazing how body knows and tells you what it needs and feeling, and savasana is the time for that. My feeling from  being criticised sat on heart and obviously needed to every heart opener to release it. My body wanted to tell me through yoga (Indian way, Chinese might say different things...?).

So powerful and another magic experience.
