Autumn Lotus Yoga

Well, nursing computer along as best as possible.  Likely to be replaced soon but gotta get finances in order!

Still have a little more to share about thi s past Forrest weekend. 

Confession: I didn’t make Friday night.  Couldn’t resist the chance to dress up & have a date night with Beloved Husband at the Temple restaurant in the Renaissance hotel, Providence.  It’s a fascinating building — origially built as a Masonic temple but the Depression stopped construction in 1922.  It sat empty for like 70 years before coming back into use.  The hotel has a motif of Masonic devices & maps of the original structure; they even preserved & recreated some of the graffiti from the years of dereliction!

So, Saturday am workshop.  First off, went in of course a bit nervously &  tired (didn’t sleep well, despite gorgeousness of hotel).  But was hugely & pleasantly surprised to know like, half the group!  Between Boston & New Haven yoga excursions & the Mentorship program, it was akin to coming home & created a really nice vibe.

Here’s the breakthrough thought that Iwanted to share, past the prattle about hotels & yogacquaintances.  Sat down on the mat & had this bubble up as Ana directed us to focus on tracking transformation in a chosen spot: 

“No more fighting, forcing or faking.  Clear that all away & accept only healing.  Nothing less.”  

This intent cleared away alot of the flak & flotsam & crap immediately & allowed a directed focus.  4 wheels, first time in a year, baby! 

Accept nothing less than what you truly need.

Yesterday was take class, teach class, take class.  Today is mystery-activity-to-be-discussed-tomorrow, take class, then volunteer session!
