I realize I haven't been on here in quite some time. Super out of the ordinary for me. Life has just been so chaotic. I'll blog about that later...
Today was my 2nd week of Curvy Yoga class at FocusOm. I knew the moment I woke up, due to the weather that I wouldn't get any drop-ins. I actually was sort of happy about it after the week we've had. It left me little to no time to sit down and plan my class.
So, when I got there (after struggling to get the stupid door to unlock), I waiting the 10 minutes to see if there were any last minute stragglers and then I locked myself in. I hooked up my phone to the sound system, and blasted S.O.B while I danced it out. I got hot, sweaty and out of breath. But it felt fabulous to just MOVE an dance out all of the tension in my body. I lit a Ganesh incense and lit the Buddah candle holder with the pretty mala beads around it. After that, I let it skip over to my Savasana playlist and I laid down on the mat and just listed to the music. If you've never heard "Her Smoke Rose Up Forever" by James Blackshaw, you must go listen to it now! I get lost in the acoustic heaven that is THIS song!
After the music stopped I just laid there for a while. I let the incense surround me and watched the smoke dance under the lights up and through the vents. When I was finally ready, I changed my playlist to a mash-up I made for when I just want to sing at the top of my lungs and played that as I cleaned up after myself. After I was done belting out some Adele and had made sure to blow out all the candles, I packed up and headed to Limestone Cafe for a coffee and a scone.
It was the most perfect hour I've had in quite some time. Even though it was short, I took some time for me and some time to vent. A time to meditate and to allow myself to accept things the way they are. I prayed to Ganesha to allow me to get past these obstacles that have decided to pop up along my path. I also prayed to Ganesh to help me lock that God forsaken door. Finally, after I stopped myself and prayed, I got it to lock and went on my merry little way.
I plan on getting back into this stuff after the new year. With the holidays and all the things that are going on, I just need a breather. I know this helps me to vent here so I'm sure I will end up doing that. I just can't promise I'll be blogging regularly for a while. We shall see!
