One of the toughest asanas (poses) in Yoga is Savasana...you know the one, where you lay down on your back, arms away from your side, palms up. You let your legs and feet fall away, and there you lay, in suspended bliss...or not!
How can this move be so tough? Because if you are in a
state of angst, or stress, you simply can't relax into it. Oh sure, it's easy to do in a scheduled meditation class, but what about when you need it most? Can you relax into the moment and accept the challenge that faces you, or do you tighten and defend in fear and anger (as I did, for years, and my health took a toll for the worst!).
In my own spiritual journey, I learned this 'no resistance' stance in my daily life, to help circumvent the
many heartaches and stresses I faced in the presence of my son's terminal diagnosis. It didn't happen overnight, to be sure. I was tough, stubborn, and I wasn't going down easy! I resisted what was happening...the on-going degeneration my son had to live through (and still does), and my fear, anger and depression as a mother having to witness this, day in, day out, year after year. But the Universe had other plans for me, indeed. And so began my Spiritual
walk...
Living and learning with 'arms wide open' (I wasn't a yogi at the time, and knew nothing about it, this was just one of many tools that I created along the way) is one go-to tool that I will share during my FREE Webinar, Monday night (June 20) at 6 pm. Because what I know as a fitness gal is that many women want the fit physical life, but there is always, ALWAYS a yearning under the surface for more.
We are thirsty for spiritual understanding, a connection to self, and we all desire to move and live and love with passion, purpose and a sense of knowing.
Join me while I take you on a journey into other lovely parts of yourself. No need to buy another self-help book, or take another lengthy course....YOU are the source! Your inner most self, that timeless part with the greatest of potential, is not outside of you (and that's the
good news). It's there, inside, waiting for you to re-discover it! Isn't it time?
