Since staring yoga at the Bodhi center I have begun to have a profound understanding of my body. I was thinking about how in the past I used to never be sore or feel my body. Now I notice when my QL feels tight. I wake up in the morning and have to take a moment to stretch and open my sacrum. I get teased for stretching during dinner or laying on the floor doing a twist while watching a movie.
Recently during a personal yoga practice I woke up from Savasana actually feeling my body. I cannot even describe the love i felt for my body, and how much i appreciate the body I have. I love love love MY BODY. I love the thought that I am unique DNA. I am me. Katie Rebekah is the only one with her finger print and exact rings in the eye. I love it. It makes me apprecite how important it is for me to be me.
For a while I had a hard time wanting to be grounded in my body and on this earth. I love to fly and sore in. I lived in my upper Chakras creating and planning the life I wanted to live, but I never ended up living the life I wanted, because would never be in reality enough to bring down my ideas. I recently had a really cool analogy come to me concerning this. I believed that if i was grounded then I would be unhappy and stuck. Instead I learned that i could not dance with out feet. Ahh...i loved it. i love to dance. I can fly and sore then come back down to earth and dance and spin. This has been really great for helping me want to stay on the earth and knowing that its safe and joyful to be here.
Yoga has enabled me to be in my body instead of outside of it. I can now more fully experience the spiritual experience because I can ground them into reality and really feel them. I love my body and the wonderful gift i have of really being able to feel. Ahh...Namaste
