Comment on monday's mantra: anything is possible

Rebecca P. Cohen — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:58:48 GMT

I spend so much of my life now testing my limits. Three years ago, I would have rather been invisible than fail. This weekend, I practiced something I am good at, skiing, which reminded me that I learned over a decade to feel so comfortable. With practice - let alone the first step of trying even in the face of fear - we open possibilities.

Comment on living my yoga: pratyahara

Hi, Peg.

Good analogy. I would say that's one of the great lessons of Yoga--that inactivity does not equal stagnation.

Erich Schiffman thought this was so important he made it the main theme of his book, expounding on it in depth on page after eloquent page, and even incorporating it into the title:

Yoga--The Spirit and Practice of Moving into Stillness

Thanks for your thoughts.

I just checked on my bulb Peg - it looks very similar, and yes, I forgot about it too! At this time of year, I love looking closely at trees and shrubs and their buds. All this time, in the cold, they have been getting ready to blossom.

i love it that you said that it's ok to let everything go and hunker down. i think that all of this snow is mother nature's way of telling us we all need to slow down (and not feel guilty about it - which is the hard part). enjoy your snowy weekend. hugs!!

I am a terrible correspondent - whether letters or phone calls, and interestingly enough, I was thinking of writing three different people today. And then I saw your post. Interesting...:) Thank you for the inspiration.

Comment on living my yoga: reuniting with God

peg mulqueen — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 21:53:39 GMT

so interesting (i.e. sad) how concerned society is with definitions of God. as if anyone one of us has a real clue! but <sigh> too often, people are judged, shamed, and hurt in His/Her name. thank you for sharing your story ... feels good to be hOMe, eh?

I remember my conversations with God as well. I did not grow up under any religion, so as I grew older and came across people of various different faiths I got confused, I didn't understand what my relationship was and that it was o.k. to not be a part of any religion. As a teenager and a young adult I often felt rejected in terms of religion and in many of my relationships I refused to talk about spiritual matters out of fear that I wouldn't be understood. I found in many of my intimate relationships it became a barrier and ultimately something that would attribute to the ending of the relationship. I think one of the things yoga has helped me with is reconnecting in my own way to God without judgement and feeling the light within, loving myself and the importance of that.

i had a very similar experience! seems yoga takes apart what we (think we) know . . . and brings us closer to the truth. a little scary yet in the end - brings soooo much joy and happiness. thank you for sharing your story!! xo
