Had a rough morning before my weekly yoga class. Was a little nervous, how do I handle the class with this much negative energy?
Started to talk to self like another person: I can see you are about to explode out of your body, just breathe, separate you and your anger. I learned somewhere, “treat yourself like someone else”, with as much love and compassion. This gives me a new perspective. Then I started to practice breathing, and let my mind slowly open to the outside world, instead of cocooning in.
When I arrived at my destination, the security guard whom I normally just exchanged nods with, for some reason opened his door and stepped out of his booth and asked me how was my Thanksgiving. I mumbled, “it was okay.” Felt a little low energy to carry on the conversation. He squeezed a big smile, “mine too, we are more Christmas people. But my nephew looked into the closet and asked me, uncle are any one of those gift boxes mine?” We both cracked up. I sincerely laughed out loud. I felt so much lighter while walking into the yoga room.
I calmly carried on my class. At the end, after savasana, even after bowing namaste, no one moved, just sitting quietly on their mat, like being mesmerized. This never happened before. I can feel a kind of positive energy lingering, which may be why everyone, new and returning students, all yearned for and naturally drew towards it.
On my way home, I felt so transparent and light seemed to shine through. There must be an angel passing by.
