A week of thinking differently. I think this sign should actually say AYL THIS WAY.
NATO apparently now stands for Not Attached To Outcome, or in yoga parlance Vairagyam, H has a way of altering your thinking. On Abhyasa it’s about effort on the day, every day in practice it’s different, some days it takes 100% effort to just get on the mat.
In AJ’s YouTube this week she mentioned the concept of Prajna Parad or Crimes against Intelligence, in yoga this could be trying too hard when you’re tired and injuring yourself or eating that big chocolate bar while knowing all that sugar is bad for you and it may screw up binding Marichy D , but you eat it anyway! Marichy D or a slab of Galaxy, I have to admit that’s a hard one.
Hamish’s book is now available in Korean, as well as English and Spanish.
For me it continues to be one step forward and two back in the never ending fight to recover from covid and chicken pox and get my practice back. I’ve managed to get another chest infection and am struggling again, my immune system is still fucked and I’m still fatigued. L has suggested doing to Kurmasana and my bit of 2nd to help with the backbends while I recover, but even that is only possible once or twice a week. It’s very frustrating, chicken pox was way worse than covid, but it’s covid that’s leaving its effects.
