Thanks, Ganesha.
Posted in ashtanga yoga on 09/28/2007 03:37 pm by karenPresentation to the board went very well this morning. Apparently the couple of years of practice have worked a little magic: the horribly overwhelming freaked-out-to-the-point-of-psychic-blindness feeling wasn’t there. A couple of times I felt my shoulders get really tight, but it was all fixable with some ujjayi and mula bandha adjustments.
Perhaps it all went so easily because I wore a little Ganesha medallion over my throat chakra? Yeah, okay, if only you knew how insane that would sound to the members of the sub-culture I was addressing today (Total Rewards professionals). They believe their sub-culture is more real and less silly than mine. I know, though, that our sub-cultures are exactly equally silly.

This project has taken up weeks of psychic energy. I am thrilled it’s over. I took the Moon Day, then was up late working on the presentation on Wednesday (late, as in almost 1 AM!) so missed practice on Thursday. Today I skipped practice because I had a kind of emotional equilibrium going when I woke up, and I didn’t want to chance getting sucked into my own head during practice. Sometimes it’s important not to be too internalized and reflective.
Happy to be back to my internalized, reflective, practicing self first thing tomorrow morning!
