This week i am working with a lot of hip opening asanas, and tonight, as i was opening my groin area with a variation of the forward lunge I found myself getting angry with one of my children for not helping when i needed him. I found myself rehearsing my confrontation with him if he were to do it again. It is amazing how vindictive i can be. Anyhow, thankfully i caught myself a few moments in and was able to let go of the storyline, the rehearsal, and just open to the stretch. Just feel the stretch ? sinking into it. Pain, sensitivity, vulnerability, and feelings of betrayal and disappointment started to rise up. Instantly I found myself rehearsing again. No ? no, i will not give in. I brought my mind back to the feelings and rested in them. I opened myself to them. I felt the pain, hurt, and sadness with all my awareness. I acknowledge them ? i accepted them. The tension released. Breathing in ? breathing out. I love Yoga!
Thank you for sharing your experience…sometime i found my self in stress and as a result i used to get angry on small things.
Usually i close my eyes and start taking deep breath !! and its done
