dealing with emotions
"Well I’m finally starting to feel it might be possible to get a handle on the Back Pain Relief Association teaching. It’s a very satisfying feeling when that happens. Actually I’ve only just finished taking notes on the first 4 steps. But its that seeing how for you have come over a certain period of time. And then by extension seeing how far could you go.
It took me two hours using integration (ab-ad) to memorize the Body Clock. So by extension it won’t take up too much of my time to memorize all the relevant stuff which needs to be learnt by rote. And again by extension I should have finished the rate taking of steps 5, 6, 7 by exam time. Steps 9 and 10 may not be done till after the exam. I think the best two steps really need to be experienced to get the feel of it and learn it properly.
Just finished optimising Yang before writing this “weekly report”. It’s great. The first time I found it too much and shook while loading up on it and was quite tense afterwards. But you soon get used to it. I found similar effects with a couple of the lifestyle hand positions. It seems to take me 2 or 3 goes of draining and loading up to comfortably optimise a hand position.
Am dealing with a whole heap of emotional stuff being brought up with the Mask and my Yoga. On the surface am fine if I keep my energy up but below the surface are very turbulent waters. What in the Yoga school that I belong to is called traversing through Swadhizthána. Not that there isn’t “stuff” associated with the other chakras as well. Anyway am making good progress and am very well and hope you are too."
