More Notes

Today is Memorial Day, I went to class. We practiced a lot of poses using support in which were held for several minutes. The one pose I want to note that was different and benefical was Shoulder Stand (Salamba Sarvangasana) with a chair. We practiced different variations of this pose. Variations are always nice since they keep asanas less boring. On inversions, she discussed with me how I need to work on separating the legs and bringing the outer thighs inside more and also work on extending my inner legs towards my feet. To the class she talked about being completely aware in the poses with fidgeting since fidgeting would lead into a scattered mind. Be aware. Notice where your weight generally leans, etc.



So, I've been thinking about my Jungian sessions and whether or not I want to continue going. I always think about quitting a few days after class until I actually end up going. Somehow the day of session always seem breakthrough and I feel so good, but then one or two days later that feeling fades and I end up forgetting everything. How have the sessions helped? Today I reflected on one of the things discussed, the areas of life I feel 100% certain in and trying to incorporate that mental feeling into the areas of life that I feel uncomfortably uncertain in. Maybe I rely in my comfort in being helpless and uncertain, but then why do I get excited about certain possibilities, like grad school or moving? I don't know. Sometimes I just want to say "Fuck it" and run myself into debt going to a hippie school and living by the ocean.
