flights and such
The goddesses of this world are smiling upon me!
I managed not only to extend my visit, but to actually CHANGE my routing so that instead of flying San Francisco-Houston-Paris-Helsinki, I now have a direct flight to Amsterdam, and one easy peasy connection to Finland from there! Huzzah! Also, it's in the afternoon, so I don't have to be at the airport at 6 am anymore!
The last few mornings I've been getting up early for my yoga practice.... it's been hard, but ever so rewarding. Today, the second time in being assisted into the full baddha konasana it was easier, there was less resistance, less pain, and now, a savasana and several hours later, I am feeling myself release something in the form of tears, sadness of some kind. There are so many, hmm, experiences that get caught in our bodies; in the muscles and the joints. We store so much anxiety and pain and sorrow and stress, often in those hard-to-get-to invisible places that you spend so many years convinced of the impossibility of accessing it. Because you're not even aware that it's there. And yet now, I feel all this emotion flooding to my awareness from behind this obstacle that was in my hips. And I feel a little lighter now, albeit a bit tender and sore.
Yoga never ceases to amaze me and to teach me so much.
Now, shoe shopping.
