Today I got up into headstand for the first time. It was wonderful! I felt such joy at doing it finally too. But they weren't kidding when they said that it works on the psychological component of fear. Not long afterwards I felt a lot of sadness and frustration....all the unhappy energy that I couldn't afford to allow myself to feel after breaking my knee. All the limits and restrictions imposed on my while I relearned to walk - I am not only still feeling these things, but feeling them quite strongly. Man, I really need to release this, it's not doing anything for me. I guess I have to keep doing the headstand. lol
I am here for a month doing the TTC (teachers training program) and my main reason for being here is to heal my knee (both the physical as well as mental/emotional) as much as possible. Hopefully I can return to the Iai do training afterwards also. Well....we'll see how far along I have progressed by the end of the program.
Peace,
Yvette
