Well I'm still having trouble getting to this on time but I haven't given up completely! I taught yesterday and talked about how we can get pulled in so many directions and if we aren't steady in our hearts, this can take quite a toll. Of course I'm talking about myself - I've been so crazy busy lately. Between school, practice, teaching and my suddenly busy social life, I barely have time to breathe. I have kept myself grounded in my practice though which has kept me sane.
I have noticed that with a great amount of practice comes a lot of body awareness and some parts nearing injury. Of course injury comes from practicing out of alignment in some way and I realized that I was still lacking in muscular energy particularly in my core. I think that I work hard there but as my lower back was telling me, I needed more. I was pulling my back away in other directions without the stability of my core. And then the pain reminded me...
So I worked with an awesome group of people yesterday as they diligently worked their core to inspire my own work as well. The rest of my weekend was filled with baby showers, weddings, friends and laughter. I am so lucky to be pulled in these directions and lucky to have a practice that allows me to enjoy them without losing myself. Thanks to all - until next time...
