After a long practice today I must agree.  My mind is tricky as I think I want a short one, then find I relish the longer.

I do Yin daily so this would be great!  Length doesn't really matter to me personally.

Not feeling really sore I hit the mat, wondering the benefits I would find.  Much to my surprise when we first went down on the mat, there it was.  My wrist was incredibly sore when bending backwards.  I knew it was from the weed and grass removable I had been doing the past couple of days.  

So I went to fists first.  I found this to be my solution in the past for tender wrists.  As the practice progressed I gradually felt the release I needed to carefully follow.  It was as if I just needed a jump start.

I really enjoyed pigeon as well as the other moves.  Seems I am finally opening up my hips to find more in so many poses.  

I glanced up at the movement of the water at times.  I think that helped too.

I turn my head a moment

A second glance to take

Upon a life provided

The choices I did make

The pain and all struggles

The lessons in their wake

The milestones of my wisdom

The collection of mistakes

We each have those life-changers

That somehow stop our world

And in our misdirections

They help to find its pearls

Of all the endless searching

They’ve showed us who we are

The secrets now so simple

Found we alone did guard

What a beautiful way to start the day.  Long, luscious, meditative poses found in each variation needed in the moment.  My mind attempting to fill with thoughts kept at bay, with your little nuggets of insight woven through the music.

I rare, lazy morning where I slept in, okay till 7:30, but still...  This was the perfect wake up, letting the breath and the stretches move blood and energy to my body.  Today I noticed my happy baby was better.   I think using the breath as instructed recently is helping me relax and deepen in each pose.

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.

So enjoy my mornings with you.  I liked the setup for our breath work throughout.  It helped in deepening the poses.  I also like the music in the background.  Calming it was...
