Empathy

Since Thursday I have been with my husband at home. He had shoulder surgery there is the link if you want to know all about it. He had the a similar thing done in 2002. Anyhow hes been in a lot of pain and I thought that it would be a chore to take care of him but I have found it to be very good for me..

I have never been a very empathic person. At least I know that though and I have been trying to work on it. This has helped me tons and tons.. Its actually felt really good not thinking about myself for once and being able to put someone else need before my own.

I love it though and haven't realized that when i stop caring about myself so much and put someone else up there it makes it much easier to not care about anything else at the moment but that other person.

I'm just glad that I have been given this opportunity to show my husband and hopefully his family that I do love him a care about him and can also take care of him when I need to.

Hes amazing and always takes care of me. I'm just happy to give back to him finally.

Touch your Toes

One of the main topics that we discussed was how we work the spirituality into our classes. Me being here in the BIBLE belt buckle OKLAHOMA. I know that you have to be very careful how you approach the subject. The rest of the teachers for the most part said the same thing. I don't teach much at the moment but I think that having spirituality in your practice is important.

This is in fact why got my CYT in January. To deepen my own practice not just the physical but the mental. That is one of the reasons why I love yoga. Its something that I can never learn everything about. Which I think is awesome! I love something that keeps me going and wanting to learn more.

I think that it is important to keep the foundations on which yoga was built and for the most part students that are wanting to know about the spiritual part will generally ask. Nobody wants things shoved down their throats. Let it come.

The search is the fantastic part to find what fits for you. Yoga has helped me to search for that something that I need right now. I know that I need to sit more meaning meditate I realized that last week. Hell I knew it. Its making the time to do it for me.

Yoga isn't about touching your toes or putting your toe in your ear. Its what you learn on your way there. That's what my teacher always tells her classes and to lead with your hear.

It has taught me so many things about myself and life in general. I love it.
