 This is a reflection I shared on Facebook about the poster I created a year ago.
the message is what I am reflecting upon... - the body is just one of the many parts that make us human... - flexibility is not just a shape of the body, it is much more a quality of the mind. - For me it's much more connected to: - where to give - where to take. - say yes or say no. etc. - to be adaptable not holding a grudge E.g. All of the opposites (triggers) that keep knocking on our door daily. I have been after this kind of flexibility all of my life. It taught me to notice and be fiercely aware when I get stuck. It's our human conditioning that it happens. Triggers are everywhere. I could tell you about 20 of mine on the spot😆. Perhaps I am diving into this later😏. Here is what I learn as I go: 1. my noticing it is the first step to get unstuck. Noticing with curiosity not defeat and blame. 2. choosing something different, like from a different view, different mindset, not from an old habit. That is the work we need to do... it is difficult. That means "bending" so I don't break to me. 3. Step three is the life challenge we have: making this a way of life I am on this journey with you... as a yogi, I can offer this: When you notice you are stuck: 💡remember to notice your breath 💡take refugee in a moment of pause 💡give yourself some flexibility around the helpless feeling of being stuck 💡breathe again 💡 look for a different angle... 💡 choose a different approach I promise you this works! It is a practice... we are not suddenly enlightened and never get stuck again....LOL... But the reaction to being stuck can change...one trigger at a time. Happily unstuck in this moment ...
