Hello world!
well, im sure most have heard of yoga. Many of you may actually practice it in some form. A few months ago my boss was talking to me about it. I laughed at her honestly, mostly because she was so into it and it completly took me off guard that she was in to it. I mean she’s a complex lady in general so that just added to it. So i continued to pick on her about the subject. About a month ago someone from my church spoke about a serious back injury he had from snowboarding and how he had many surgeries to fix the problem. He said he did yoga to help with that. Again in my head im thinking, “yoga is the most wacked thing!” Well a little known..or not known fact about me is i too have some back troubles, particularly in the lower back with the syatic nerve. Its not constant pain but when it comes oh man it comes! Ive been just dealing with it but lately ive just really wanted to care of it. So i caved…i humbled myself to my boss and asked to use her yoga tape. Ive been doing it for like a week now and i already notice the differance. I also realized how tight my muscles are and how much i sit hunch-back. Its definatly made me more aware of how i walk and sit and carry my shoulders/back. Its funny what we grow comfortable in. In this week ive realized how hard it is to just be. Theres one part towards the end of the workout where you just lay flat on your back…relaxing your back and neck…just breathing. Im so anxious to be doing…something…anything but just being. Not to turn this into a huge Jesus connection but it is. If i can’t just be laying on the floor relaxing how can i just be with Jesus? I know that i will learn to relax my body…which is so good thus learn to just be. I can tell that tension and tightness is being dealt with in the process of these workouts.
“wax on…wax off”…”breathe in…breathe out”
