Geeze….Tough one today buddy!!  Practice sure was on the more difficult side this morning!  No worries – it was still fantastic – but my body simply didn’t care to cooperate with me today!  I am to blame really – the emotional tension I’ve been feeling the last few days is simply manifesting itself physically in my hips, thighs, back and shoulders…Truly reminds me how much this practice REALLY does mirror your daily life!  So all this tension is trying to mess with my practice – I’ve been determined not to let it – but I guess there are some things that you can control only so much!  It’s alright – makes me really appreciate ‘the practice’ so much more.  Since I knew my body was not open and would be really uncooperative in most of my poses, I spent the entire practice tying to stay totally aware of my bandhas and breath…That too was a little challenging today as so many thoughts kept creeping into my head…I’d push them out – and they’d come back…..Ok, so just keep trying.  That alone wore me out – felt like I was battling with myself this morning ;-  But always a lesson – each practice always teaches me a lesson if I will focus enough to see it!  So nothing lost…Much gained!

            I’m about to head out to breakfast at the Shakti house this morning – first time in a very long time I’ve eaten there – usually eat my meals at home, especially breakfast and especially during the week…However, a yogini who had been following my blog has since arrived in Mysore and were are gonna meet up for breakfast.  I am actually looking forward to it – gives me another reason to get outta this house for a bit! 

            Got a lot to do today though…Emailed my accountant with a million questions about businesses and really hope to hear back from him soon.  To my dismay the rest of my products were not ready yesterday but they promised to have the majority completed today so I can ship them off to my partner in the states.  I’ve already pushed my ‘opening’ date back b/c of this – and I really don’t want to push it back any further ;(  So, hopefully will be able to ship things off today and then I just have to finish taking some pictures, adding them to the site – finishing descriptions – add to cart buttons – and I should be all set!  That will take a little time though – and that’s fine b/c I still have a whole week to finish it all. 

            Gonna head to Bangalore tomorrow after practice to try to sort out my plane ticket home!  So hopefully tomorrow afternoon I’ll know FOR SURE when I’m ‘coming to America’   While I’m there I’m also gonna check into Notion manufacturers there, and a few other types of manufactures…It all depends on how long each ‘stop’ takes as to how many of the things on my to do list will actually get done!  I hope I can accomplish a good deal tomorrow though – I am not a huge fan of Bangalore.  Luckily for me, my friend Girish will be accompanying me there – so that will be a huge weight off my chest!  He will be able to deal with the Rickshaw drivers and help translate for me with some of the manufacturers….He’s a super wonderful friend – very grateful to have met him!

            Ok, off to breakfast – Hope you all have a fantastic Thursday!!!

Om Shanti!
