Nice flow moving through these stretches this morning.  Bit of a morning headache dwindled, then forgotten.  The relief really seems tied to the breath.  Had tagged it before, but it wasn't selected as a Favorite...it is now.

Got errors trying to connect to this one this morning.  Looks like it's fixed now.  Reverted to a previous instructors video and found it interesting to compare teachings.

After one had been here a while it's interesting to read how a practice compares as time passes.  Due to a drought here, I spent yesterday giving minimal water to the newer placed pants, so I have some undetected sore spots until I went through this sequence.  Sometimes the tightness makes it feel like I have more to work with, then finding more gained.  That's how today went.

It was clear she had struggled. She had lost four pounds and had several wounds, suggesting she had fought with another animal, possibly a raccoon. There were punctures on her hindquarters and neck.

Our vet made an exception and saw her immediately. She was given antibiotics, electrolytes, and pain medication. Radiology showed no broken bones or internal organ damage. Other findings were consistent with bite wounds and expected to heal over time.

She accepted care right away, including from our dog Max, who was curious but seemed to understand she had been traumatized. Familiar items accompanied her as she began her rest and recovery.

She loves the sun, cuddling, and tummy rubs, and she has spent much of her time basking on our deck, which has been reinforced for her safety. All bodily functions are normal, a good sign of recovery.

The "Little known" pose targeted my old shoulder injury so well.  Peace of mind is what I needed this morning and this Elixir quenched that need.  The sutra end read by you is always the icing on the cake.  Following you allows me the pause I need to go deeper.  I thank you daily for that...

She slept through the night and woke up hungry which helped giving her pills, but she will be sedated this morning so no more food.  She went outside and did her thing which is a good sign.  She has some injuries from an animal attack so that is the concern now, but she seems alert and getting acquainted with her new digs.  An aid at the vet said "She's not just Princess anymore, she is the Warrior Princess!!!"

I like these little ditties when something quick is needed.  I think you mentioned something about "putting you legs together" to then start puppy and I found this a slight benefit from my normal stance.  Found some super tightness in on thigh I suppose from yard work.  Funny how quick we can tighten up.  Tagged a Favorite short so I can find it quickly next time.

Loved the pace of this one and the options throughout.  Afterwards I open the sutras and found Sutra 80 and felt the urge to share.

That space is bad.

This space is good.

The ride is rough,

Or the going is smooth.

We are thrown into suffering,

We are thrown into joy.

Beloved Soul Mate

Find the space in the center,

The pulsing spaciousness

Encompassing all opposites.

Here the essences of creation are at play:

Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space,

And the senses that perceive them.

The center is the dancing ground.
