“One More…”
Today is the first time since the shala re-opened that I heard the words, “One More” come out of Sharth’s mouth during practice…Means more people are arriving at the shala each day! It does seem that people are arriving more slowly this time around than back in May…In May there were more people here when the shala opened, and more people arrived intermittently May-July…Curious to see how busy the shala gets this time of year…
Practice was good today – FAR better than yesterday. Yesterday’s practice was simply that, a practice…First time in a long time I can say that about any practice – but as you all know – some days are spot on and feel great, and some days practice just drags along and you can’t seem to be in it or have it together – but that is all part of the journey – it is definitely a mirror image of your life….And that was my problem yesterday morning. I had a really rough day on Tuesday and early early Wednesday morning started out that way too! But after my utterly ‘tasteless’ practice I re-evaluated my mindset and things that were bothering me – then I reminded myself that “I need to be in alignment with that which I am wanting” – in this case a clear mind, happy heart, and pleasant demeanor. “So be it,” I thought, it really can be that simple! So, as soon as I realized that I was allowing things to bother me, and remembered that I am in total control of how I feel and react towards things, I started to feel better instantly and ended up having a fantastic day! Wow, power of thought huh!!! It’s some pretty amazing stuff you know???
Yeah, so yesterday started crappy and soon shaped up quite nicely. I got a lot of chores taken care of (and with pleasure I might add), spent a couple hours helping to teach a friend a little about websites and design, did 30 minutes of cardio at the nearby gym (want to get my cardio strength back up – totally lost it since I left the states), got a lot of reading and research done for myself concerning web stuff, caught up on tons of emails, and still got to bed at a decent hour! But the biggest lesson the last few days has taught me is that I create my reality…Stuff I know and am usually totally spot on about keeping in the forefront of my mind, but like everything else, sometimes I lose sight of this very valuable piece of knowledge and had to step back and find it again. So, I hope that you can learn a little from my few days of discomfort – always remember “YOU ROCK” and that you can make your day the way you want it to be no matter what uncontrollable events sneak up into your day. Think positive and so it will be, think happy and so you will be, think love and so you will have it to give and you will be able to receive….

It’s such a treat to hear what you’re up to and to know that you’re doing well….and to get the lowdown on the doings in Mysore.

Hi Krista! Catching up with your blog again and its making me very homesick for mysore… I am trudging through second back home but as I don’t have a regular teacher to help me it feels like an uphill task! Oh well. got a great practice in last night at astangayogalondon and I’ve got a teacher moving up from london to where I live who will help with the new shala.. I send you love and light and sounds like you are having a good time and great practice! Love to K too and take care
