I went and did yoga this morning, and it felt sooo good. My body yearns to be stretched, my neck and jaw are so tight, that I could stay much longer in the postures that are pulling on those muscles. My arms also are sorely in need of being put in awkward positions as to stretch the bunched up overworked muscles always going in one direction.
As I work sorting mail my left arm is bent to hold a pile of mail, this arm was painfully stretched out and that felt so good.
Towards the end of my hour and a half routine, it came to me that my programmed self needs a body that is sluggish and asleep, in order to pull a quick one on me time and time again.
So, there has been a struggle within me, as my awareness becomes more aware, the odd twist between my ‘treats’ and how they feel are coming to light, and their gig is up.
I believe that the more brainwashed you are and the more confused you are about what feels good and what is bad…the more you need to have a shut down body.
Perhaps a clear mind starts to crave foods that will help the body be a clear signal reader too.
I just feel that the mindset I had matched the shutdown foods that I ate. They swayed in harmony together, holding each other up.
Yoga is a health food in my day; and I don’t like the way my body feels when it misses this.
It also came to me while mowing the grass…We never ‘miss’ a sweet treat, or short ourselves on chocolate, or cheat and only eat a half a candy, but when doing yoga, I am tempted to stop early or doing anything that is truly good, we tend to slough off…but the old reliable bad stuff we are faithful to.
Just interesting to notice where we cut corners and when we take more than our fair share.
Perhaps soon I will be a yoga hog and glutton when it comes to fresh fruits and veggies and my old sweet treats will become an old friend I outgrew.
