In memoriam (May 18)
As we chanted the opening mantra, I thought of everyone on the planet who did the same on the day of your passing.
We, the ones you did not meet, are grateful, Guruji. ❤️
Practice notes
It's been quite a while since I've written here. Since the start of the year, in my new (old) job, I was in between settling in and re-learning. This sums up the state of my almost everyday home practice and my life - I heeded both diligence and aversion and so I feel I am not quite where I am supposed to be. I could argue both ways.
It is a good thing the teachers have come to knock some sense into my head/heart.
Tim Feldmann is in town and I have been coming to class, reveling in the inconsistency of my Nadi Shodhana. One day I am happily claiming my heels once again and the next day I am losing my grip even in what I feel has already come. That has been my story for about a year now. There is a difference though. I feel I am getting stronger and less fearful. I just keep practicing.
Two more days with Tim and June brings Arne back to our shala. In this practice, it is work upon work. It must be so imperative that we love what we do. And the one thing going for me is that I do.
