As with any recovery, its important to recognize the behavior we want to correct as its happening. So I catch myself becoming disproportionately dissatisfied with a wobbly ardha chandrasana or a toppling titibasana. I stop and breathe and remind myself that my inner spark of divine light is pure and unwavering, even when my postures or life circumstances are not.

| I joined MyYogaOnline this month to see what it would be like taking online yoga classes from a variety of teachers all over the world. I regularly get a newsletter from the site with links to videos and articles. This morning I clicked on "Discover your Sacred Self" by Alisha Vasquez and was profoundly hit smack dab in the gobstopper by the quote above. I've wobbled a lot lately and I'm just working on surrendering. See, I prefer to be in control of my destiny and situations and am gifted with the ability to see the bigger picture (when I don't get in my own way) and am a change agent like a Mary Poppins of a sort. |
But, when I wobble, I begin to doubt and then become my own worst enemy. How much more fluid and wonderful would living, learning and making mistakes be if remembered that my divine light never, ever wavers?
