So

I have moved.....
I am still finding my way since my accident...
Still learning new ways to move...a new way forward...
Dealing with the past....

Yoga/Art/Healing Performance....is my way

The work of Butoh Artist Atsushi Takenouchi...has helped me realise what is possible....

I want to live what is possible...

However I feel frustrated by....my work (Yoga offering)
This is all my week...finding myself too xhausted to express what I really want
Of course my work comes from Yoga....but my offering is out of balance...
I need to find a way to pull back my teaching..

What is my ideal:
Mon
Tues
Wed
Thurs
Fri
Sat
Sun
Need some more time to reflect.....

And as I continue to reflect...things of interest com'n up:

my body trusts

I realise through words that have come to me that no one can tell me which is the best way to go....even the wisest...
I have been effected by those who I consider the wise...I still am enlightened by their words...but I am making a choice to find my own way...this will take a great deal of strength to stand for what I choose...for there are those that will not like my decisions...

Such thoughts have come about after my waiting.......
There is one person in my life that my body trusts...I have needed to speak with them about which direction I can take in terms of my rehabilitation and my return to work....I feel I have taken steps forward but also put things on hold awaiting such wise advice........they have not been available...
So maybe it is time to let go of this trust and place it in myself...and feel gratitude for all that was offered to me thus far, from them.
I sense life is asking me to move in a different direction from the one prior to my accident.

my week ahead

So this week ahead...involving ginger compress applied to the site of injury 2 times daily..morning and evening...application of moxa and zeng gu shui.
My own practise daily is paramount...dynamic and static..perhaps dynamic is too strong a word at this stage....I'm taking it gently.
There is a strong commitment to my food preparation...listening deeply to what my body needs for healing. At the same time I realise the most important thing in relation to food is: 1. to have a positive mind and say thankyou and 2.to chew. There are a number of supplements I am ingesting..like Noni juice, MSN, tissue salts, evening primrose oil to name a few.....the ones to get next are COQ10 and internal Silica.
I must return soon to Jiang for acupuncture and chinese herbs...I will alo try to make it there this week. I am still tracking down the appropriate infra red heat lamp?????

And then there is the return to paper, brush, colour and Taiko....both practises therapeutic.....

Furthermore a Tai Chi class maybe attended....observation of a Wing Chun class.
and my own two classes teaching thus far.

There is also some meditative sewing to be done...

So until I return to my mums at the end of the week.........healing to all and a gentle smile..................

Introduction

It all began on the 24th of November 2006................and turned into the 25th...and here I am 5 months later...reviewing the latter..considering how such events effect my present..and rethinking the future.
These moments I will write of in no specific order.

I am tired now and ready for sleep...too tired to practice..yet I know, just one posture and a conscious breath will effect tomorrow and even you.......
