Anyway, to get to the point, today has been AWESOME. LOA ftmfw! (F.Y.I. LOA stands for Law of Attraction. I'll let you google "ftmfw" if you don't already know what that means :) ) I don't have a lot of time so I will spare you the play by play. What I will say is that I was able to--or will be able to be before going to bed--check off every single solitary item on my to-do list for today. That feels great, amazing, spectacular, etc, etc, etc.
I had a little trouble getting out of bed this morning--but that's nothing new. But the morning run and work out definitely set the day off right. Anusara yoga was amazing. While practicing I really tried being attentive to my intentions--Muscular Energy (hugging the muscles to the bones) and Organic Energy (extending energy out). My favorite pose in the sequence was this one:
"Vasisthasana (variation) " or "Wild Thing"
Practing this pose seemed to lengthen my entire spine as well as my sides. It also reminded me of modern dance--which I LOVE!
I had the most trouble with this pose:
"Vasisthasana" or "Side Plank Pose"
I wasn't able to do the fully extended version like the chick in the picture. Instead I practiced this variation:
I know, not quite as impressive. But I am definitely going to work up to the the full extension of the pose. I planned to practice this sequence again this evening because I thought I might be able to balance better when I am not coming straight off of a run. Unforunately I don't think that's in the master's plan for this evening. Although I will be practicing Sweet Surrender...again...for the third night in a row. (Can you tell I love that sequence?) I sleep so good after doing it, and I think it is helping with some chronic discomfort that I have in my upper back.
....Hmmmm guess this wasn't so "short and sweet" after all huh?
Ciao! Off to check that last item off my to-do list.
