Vastu and Relationships
Tuesday, January 20th, 2009| The Mastros say that Vastu is “yoga for relationships!” Vastu eliminates the stress in finding a partner. Some of the tools they teach us to use include the relationship altar, yantras & mantras, color, gems, and scent. This is an informative and enlightening book that is full of intriguing exercises and step-by-step instructions. This book could literally change your life! |
Fear of Falling (Failing? Fooling?)
Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008I have a fear of falling. When I watch others appear to effortlessly float through an Ashtanga yoga class and I am struggling not to fall over, I can’t help but wonder 2 things:
- Is it really a fear of falling, or is it a fear of failing? And if it is the latter, of what am I afraid of failing? There is nothing to fail at. In some respects, it is a flashback to my days as a clumsy child in gym class, the one who tripped over her own feet, could not shoot baskets, and was the last one picked for a team. I seem to have a real block when it comes to any asana requiring balance, to the point where I am afraid to try because of my fear of falling and somehow making a fool out of myself.
- Could my lack of balance in yoga be related to the fact that often my life is not balanced (but it is getting better!). Is this an allegory?
Either way, I need to face this fear.
