Some thoughts that arise have been jotted on my iPhone...here are some to share:
October 26:
The questions become the answer. The question has become the answer...
October 16:
Love with a passion that has the power to break the heart into thousand of pieces. In each piece you will find yourself - your creative expression and your reason for living.
September 26:
Use the power of the breath to relax a muscle, to calm the thoughts, to activate the para sympathetic nervous system.
Use the same attention to the breath when you need to focus on a difficult task. Or when you need to take flight from danger.
Leslie Kaminoff calls the diaphragm and its work similar to the engine of a car. The engine gives a power to the car, this power is accelerated by pushing on the pedal and decrease by releasing the pedal.
How does ujjayi breathing help in a yoga asana?
What does it mean to make the breath guide the movement? Or to listen to your body through your breath?
September 5:
Don't try too hard
Soften the thoughts on how to be, just be
And so I think, driving with no specific plan/destination.
Is it a feeling of mellowness, a sadness? I question myself? And so what if it is. I suddenly don't want to do any further analysis of myself. As if I am giving myself the permission to accept whatever I feel, whatever arises, with no labels.
Reasons are a plenty, excuses we give ourself or the other.
I keep driving. The car brings me to a place, I am consciously or subconciosuly, setting my energy in an area once familiar. This is where I will ground myself.
Build my life, from ground up.
Maybe a new chapter to my story.
For now it's the kombucha and a fresh green bowl with soba noodles at Fresh, located on Spadina and Richmond.
I like this spot already!
January 2, 2017
It is now a month since I moved into the apartment. A new chapter in my story? Sorting and organizing myself. I find papers, I get excited to find a filing drawer, Staples to buy some folders and labels, and here I begin to ground myself. Amidst old materials and amidst new emotions and feelings. A lightness in myself is what I find.
