I can certaianly agree with a let down but I found I used my meditation on a recent flight and saw the most beautiful green light, center and round....like I could walk through it into a beautiful world. It is nice to be able to go to a beautiful place internally when I need to. While I was enjoying peace the plane was dropping a few thousand feet ;-)
I have been trying to incorporate everything from our week into my daily routine. I am just having trouble really finding satisfaction now. And yes, I have begun my journey and satisfaction comes with that. I have realized I am just being a little impulsive and impatient about it. Thank you for being so insightful and supportive. I really appreciate it. I got your email and I can't seem to get to the group blog.
I am really going to try to make it to the park this Sunday if time allows. It is really close to my house. In fact, I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. I have lived in this area all my life! It's really unfortunate how life can drown out so much of the real beauty and places you know so well. Hopefully I'll make it out that way.
Bitter-sweet is an understatement, but I have learned from taking some incredible vacations that coming back is always difficult, and we cannot impose "vacation" status on our daily lives - it is unfair to our daily activities. You already know that "this normal" is not what you want anymore - that has to be at least part of the reason that you are training to become a yoga teacher, a path that points toward your escape.
I have been implementing my escape from the legal field for a number of years now, and finally, finally things are falling into place to really make that transition out of the legal field a reality for me.
It is tough to see your goals insight but they are still just outside of your reach, but getting closer everyday.
Have faith young Yogi - you are already laying the foundation for a new path - and we fellow YTT students are quite proud of you already :)
Its kind of bitter-sweet coming back home, you know? It was like a culture shock, and now, I am finding how disappointing my real life is compared to the beauty I experienced this last week. Unfortunately I am back to 'normal' but realizing that this 'normal ' is not what I want anymore. And now I am planning my escape. Thoughts? Suggestions? :)
I'm so glad you found your way to the blog. It is still very much under construction, but we can start using it while it is being "prettied up".
Reality hit me hard over the weekend, and I'm just about back into full swing - darn it. Plus, the cleansing continues. I broke the ice with my challenging person, and I'm clearing the slate with anyone who needs a clean slate from me.
I had such a wonderful experience with you all. Thank you so much for being. I am resisting coming out of my 'daze' but I am already feeling the grasp of real life. Hope to hear from you all soon.
