So far things are amazingly challenging, both in thought, body, and spirit. But through challenge we are forced to stretch deeper and come out stronger. I am practicing everything I have learned on the mat in my personal Yoga practice but off the mat here. I have been faced with challenging ideas (seen to me as being in a new posture on the mat) and had to know when to press forward and when to pull back, know my edge and go there then 'soften' in the conversation. I am physically exhausted from sitting, eating and talking and doing slow motion postures. I am learning new cueing for postures, different ways of doing or getting in and out of the postures and reasons for mis alignment. The postures are where I have always learned the most both on a physical and metaphysical reference.
Hearing the Guru talk is why I came to the training. I feel like his words and method of transfereing experience and knowledge speaks directly into my heart. Today we were blessed with a posture flow directed by Kamini, his daughter and prana (energy) flow directed by him. His directions were a direct connection to our energy bodies and as he spoke we unfolded. I actually could sense when my mind was trying to get me to some movement and when my energy body was guiding me. At then end I was able to use the new breathing techniques and body locks to keep my energy in and not drift off away from everything. Beautiful. I can not wait to share with others the best I can.
