The practice of Yin became a quiet harbor for me, mind and body settling into the long patience that healing asked after my fall. Breath played its keen role, a slow tide moving through tender places, teaching me how to listen to its guidance and soften without collapsing.

Each inhale lifted me; each exhale loosened the strain. Staying tuned to every small signal let me tend the hurt while letting the rest of me drift in gentle motion, a kind of moving stillness. Protecting one tender place made the whole body brighter to me, each part speaking to the others, each movement revealing how we are one woven thing.

🙏 You are appreciated, Devi as guide, teacher, and friend in the soft, luminous way friendship appears on the mat.

Tried to use my Yoga Cards, but found they as well as most any other attempts did not work well on a bumpy, shimming train.  My sleep didn't fair well either.  But once visiting friends, one who had recently had a heart attack, I found the deck's purpose.  My friend had started a slow cardio routine, but this was a perfect supplement.  He was so grateful when I left this parting gift.  I told him that he had the Yang down....now it's time for the fun part.

I was listening to an overview of the history, theory and practice of Tantra.  I was sitting cross legged and was performing various Yin moves for neck, shoulders and breath.  When the chapter ended a total body energetic rush moved up my torso.  That is when the warmth surrounded my spine.  It then encompassed my shoulder, neck and upper back.  There was an ease in my scapula.  It was as thought it was targeting my old injury for healing.

An update on the circle of stones I posted in the Spring.  My wildflowers are doing quite nicely. 

These are a couple of pieces I will be displaying at our community center this Summer.  It was difficult to photo them without the glare.

Tonight's sunset..

I have to say (and recommend) that you consider Following members on the site.  I love the positive emails I get throughout the day and like understanding what others have found in the practices.  It's a great source for good vibes.💗
