I've used it since in leaping the cravices that have striped my life. Change felt directly with every hot stretch and bend of your yoga experience. I love your images and I feel myself in that chamber of decompression as I read.

So I'll climb trees and you can sweat. :-)<br />Also, I think acceptance, and even servanthood, is strenght. Compromise is strenght. I don't agree about the no hope though. THere is curiosity if we don't know what's next. But if we know what's coming, and it's terrible, and we have no hope....I don't think curiosity is the only thing we'd feel.<br />About falling out of the airplane, I can see the curiosity because we already know that we'll die on impact, and thus feel nothing. Therefore, we can relinquish hope and enjoy (or at least be curious, lol) the journey. Does that make sense?<br />Really interesting post though.<br />I hope you enjoy your class and do it for yourself, not for being strong. :-)Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-75971436664420323372009-09-23T07:03:04.986-07:002009-09-23T07:03:04.986-07:00I find corpse pose extremely difficult, too -- I c...I find corpse pose extremely difficult, too -- I can't lie still...or won't...and it usually lasts seconds not minutes.<br /><br />I love this post about acceptance . . .Kathryn Magendiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12863595228298349863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-6904058490768537352009-09-22T23:56:04.359-07:002009-09-22T23:56:04.359-07:00Amazing how much difference only a few degrees ma...Amazing how much difference only a few degrees make, how much more stress 6 degrees place on your body.<br /><br />Rejections and loose ends turn up the temperature of this transition you're in.

And what you are doing is puttering. Puttering brings great fulfillment. <br /><br />Your writing has taken a turn - more poetic and very beautiful. Be glad with your days.<br /><br />As to the warm yoga? I can't answer to that. I live in a warm place. I find my peace in the water - indoors and out. I want to be a yoga person. Not sure my puttering nature fits in though. Yoga is very hard work.Midlife Roadtripperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700277803842883251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-42364079378781521372009-09-22T13:01:09.069-07:002009-09-22T13:01:09.069-07:00Hi Deb,

The wind blows hot, but with a cool voice that promises change. It gently lifts the apricot leaves from the delicate purple ash so that it's entering the new season naked.<<br /><br />Keep going!Go Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17231542783246552456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3323372985310307718.post-85023507365992018402009-09-22T11:57:26.165-07:002009-09-22T11:57:26.165-07:00I think that I've always equated acceptance wi...I think that I've always equated acceptance with giving up as well.
