| I'm tired. I looked back when the latest entry was- and the woman with the abusive husband didn't come back. A lot of the women don't come back. I have 19 hours into Krav Maga and 6 into Kali. Have two pair of sticks and a practice blade and two pair of workable gloves. But I am not what I do. Attended a yoga festival this weekend, and it was a heart-full experience. I met several interesting gurus and I learned a great deal. I also may have figured out where one of my disconnects is, though I'm not entirely certain where to connect it. I managed to register my 200 hr RYT through the yoga alliance before I went to get my CEUs - so I logged both the continuing education and the current teaching hours. Yoga Alliance uses a 3 year cycle but a yearly registration. Weird, but whatever. In my 3 year rotation I need 45 teaching hours and 30 continuing education hours that fall within one of their categories. (I wish they'd printed the category on the certificate, but I'm doing the best I can.) Currently at 94 teaching hours (since December) and 5 CE hours. My training was about making yoga accessible to all - using whatever tools to make that necessary. That was good, and I'm thinking about branding my saturday class toward accessibility. But the other workshops I took were about philosophy of yoga and about the body and the brain and stress. It's a lot to take in all at once. I think I felt more connected after my first training - all on my own - than the second. So I will need to seek out something to help bring that in line. I do have more tools to think about mantras and mudras. I'm still reading a trauma and stress book for the yoga book club, and I think I might ask the yoga therapist for other things. I'm not sure, but she might be able to help me find it. I did an angel card reading, though I was generally not interested in it at first. I did it after Yoga Nidra (the sleep of awakening) and that might have been a mistake. I felt weird after it, and part of it was my leg spasmed (apparently lacking in sleep means you can't lie still for half an hour on the mat). But I will be practicing that when I get the file. One of the side effects might mean I need less sleep, and since I'm not getting enough, maybe that'll help. The angel card reading was seriously directed: Aura cleanse, clear the path, let go. I found it interesting that I needed to clear my aura, my energies, after all of that yoga stuff. But maybe that was part of what happened after the yoga nidra and the feeling odd. Clear the path is to literally clean up things - which Dilbert will be happy about. I've noticed I've got a lot of clutter. And it's about getting rid of things that don't mean anything to me even if they have material value. Which doesn't account for the new stuff I'm bringing home from the festival: hand-hammered tibetan singing bowl, marma stick, mudra book, and therapy balls. Also ordering a mala (okay, two) and another book if I can find a way to get my hands on it. Plus my doterra yoga buddy explained some things that might be helpful in my life. I asked about an essential oils handbook that isn't connected to the essential oil companies, but she couldn't recommend one. But she and I are planning on going to the yoga festival again next year. We traveled together okay. Again, I am not what I do, but the yoga philosophy does tend to change people. I was sort of amazed that one of the teachers was six weeks older than me. I expected an older woman because she has so many amazing qualities to teach to others. Yoga teachers just don't quite age like everyone else, and she is of Indian descent, so I thought she could easily be older and just look young. Silly me. Also trying to bring myself back into writing, editing, and those things. I feel a little split on this idea, and I'm not sure what to do about it. It's easy to fill in extra time with the duolingo and not pull out my edits for ten minutes where I wouldn't get a lot done - and then i didn't pull it out at all in a month. (The bronchitis at the end didn't help at all.) So: Finding direction in what to study, when to study, and how to fit it all in. |
