Yoga 04.15.12
Yoga tonight was awesome! I haven’t done the full ashtanga series in such a long time- refreshing. Afterward I did a relaxing hatha class which was a nice quiet end to the night.
Also! Alsooo… I’m working on my headstand, and it’s definitely come a long way. I’m super excited about my progress. I love hitting those milestones where you can finally see a change after countless hours of dedication. Yoga tends to be very immeasurable, so it’s nice when you can point out a little noticeable ‘victory’.
Excuse my ego, but headstands are freaken awesome. I’ve always been so intimidated… I feel like a tiny baby yogini kicking off the training wheels lol :)
I moved my bedroom furniture around today. I dont know if this is weird, but I love rearranging furniture. Its an awesome feeling when I completely switch everything around after becoming so accustomed to seeing it in the same way for so long. It’s refreshing.
I get this childish giddy feeling… like I just want to roll around in all the extra floor space. Hahahaha, it reminds me of that scene in Step Brothers, when they build a bunk bed; “so much room for activities!” :)
P.S.
I am (almost) totally over my cold, so you can expect to see a little more Hibou on your dash guys!

Yessss… I needed some zeppelin tonight :)
Yeah, I agree with you on that. Even good and bad actions are relative across households, societies, etc. I guess the answer, then, is for me to disregard (or at least pay less attention to) the attention or approval of others. I know, that should be obvious, but it's known that the judgments of others is mainly what we use to develop our self image. As a very "safe" person I guess I'm just looking to make sense of disregarding the judgments of others before finally deciding for myself who I am
hmm…This reminds me of a quote:
“I am not who I think I am. I am not who you think I am. I am who I think you think I am.”
I cant remember who said that though. In any case, it seems to describe your dilemma here. Its an interesting concept to wrestle with; the idea that part of who you are exists in the thoughts of others. Just remember that their thoughts of you are the outermost layer of your being, far from your true core… yet… it does have an effect on your total self.
Im not sure if I’m still making sense to you at this point lol. All I’m trying to say is that yes, I think it technically does matter what other people think of you, but what is happening at your core is always most important. If you treat people poorly or even if someone is jealous of you for no reason of your own, they can send bad vibes that may interfere with you… BUT if you work on yourself and build your confidence and connection to your higher self, the stable and strong energy that you create at your center can trump any negativity that comes your way.
i could see this on your back lol :)
Thanks paradoxicalmind! This is an awesome piece of work! Wow, makes me want to get inked ;)
I know, my blog has been pretty quiet lately. I’ve been super sick :(
Im getting my rest and drinking plenty of soup so I can be back up and blogging for all my lovely followers soon. lol
Gratitude 04.05.12
Tomorrow’s full moon goes by various names: Egg Moon, Sprouting Grass Moon, Pink Moon, Growing Moon, Seed Moon etc.
Think about what feelings and images these names conjure in your mind.
The dreams that this moon has brought me have been somewhat underdeveloped- not ripe and ready for me to fully grasp. They are concepts which have been planted in my consciousness by the universe to incubate and grow through the rest of the season. Still seeds- pure potential.
I am thankful for the opportunity to foster these tiny gifts in me as Spirit continues to nourish them with light (wisdom) and nutrients(physical manifestations). Together, my seedlings and I will grow with the seasons in the fields of the non local; saturated with Shakti energy.
I am grateful.
P.S.
What dreams and ideas do you have in the works for this spring? I’d love to hear about the beautiful projects you guys have planned. Hmmm any inspiring dreams? Or maybe a goal; a garden, a volunteer project, a home reno, a class or workshop?
woow thats awesome! it sounds like you have probably been conneected with owl for a while but you werent to the vibration yet to realize it until then. you seem to have a lot of amazing dreams!! ive been getting into dreams fora couple years now as well. i LOVE sharing dream stories!! do you have any other amazing dreams that you wouldnt mind sharing??
I’d love to share some dream stories with you. Maybe I’ll choose some from my journal and post them so everyone can read them. It would be neat to hear what you guys take away from them. Although dreams are very personal, its always interesting to explore others’ perspectives. I usually find stuff that I totally overlooked, or didnt pick up on at first.
