More UD, Cyber bookshelf
Posted in ashtanga yoga on 02/20/2008 07:43 am by karenThis morning’s thought as I set up for urdhva dhanurasana: “Will the lightness elude me, now that I’ve written about it?”
Answering thought: “No. That’s a supersition.”
And the lightness was still there. A stake in the ground that is clear, where you can look at the current state and recognize, “Whoa, a lot has changed.” I don’t actually get lots of those in practice, not many clear demarcations. Usually it’s a blurry, once-upon-a-time I remember struggling with that…
Okay, so the writing doesn’t drive away the possibility.
But what about the Hatha Yoga Pradipika? The injunction not to speak about practices?
Still working that one through…

Okay, the bookshelf is stocked. Thanks to the recommendations of the cybershalamates, I have:
Beyond the 120 Year Diet, care of Arturo
Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day, care of Yogamum
The Hatha Yoga Pradipika, care of Cody
Now I will proceed to live to 120, eating minute amounts of artisan bread and not-writing about my practice. Thanks, you guys!
