Couldn’t sleep so decided to spend a little time on the carpet. Very gentle and relaxing poses finding many spots of tension. Heading back to bed.

Sutra 44

Rivers of power flowing everywhere.

Fields of magnetism relating everything.

This is your origin. This is your lineage.

The current of creation is right here,

Coursing through subtle channels,

Animating this very form.

Follow the gentle touch of life,

Soft as the footprint of an ant,

As tiny sensations open to vastness.

Power sings as it flows,

Electrifies the organs of sensing,

Becomes liquid light,

Nourishes your entire being.

Celebrate the boundary

Where streams join the sea,

Where body meets infinity.

Lovely practice and so good reaching the tight areas.  A gentle flow into poses where one could then deepen time in the stretch.  A felt a longing to stay in so many poses.  My half saddles were better as I am learning to position my body with more exact focus on the target area while finding where my body needs to adjust to accommodate.  A sutra end, icing on the cake.

I really just ended a flu/sinus cold episode yesterday, so this a very beneficial time spent with my face, although I realized I probably should have shaved first.  The humming vibrations were telling too as I could find the imbalance and adjust through using the tongue.  I'm now ready to FACE the day!!! 😀

Classic fascia love fest.  Micro deepening into the positions with each breath.  I like tadpole/thread the needle positions as they seem to lend more ease to me.

I needed some time with my thoughts this morning.  This practice lended itself well.  It let those thoughts payout.

Loved this!  Eagle arms and neck stretch a wonderful combo for me.  Breath and relaxing found their way into each pose.  "Follow the gentle touch of life, Soft as the footprint of an ant, As tiny sensations open to vastness."

This is such a wonderful journey inward. A sleepless night turned blessing.

This was a great one to kickstart my day. Worked with the breath and the pace.

This was the perfect practice to usher in the first day of Spring.  The beautiful music, guidance, grayish, rainy morning blended so perfectly.  I liked exploring the pectorals during twist and rested deeply in the banana poses.  Just perfect...
