Week 4. Baby Steps

We are so proud of how hard all of you are working!

We also know that some of you are really feeling this work physically. I have heard from some about aches and pains that have come up.

Don't forget that this is a physically rigourous practice. You have to honor your aches and pains and make an effort to soothe yourself. It's not very Yogic to "push through " pain. My suggestion is that you back off and take baby steps. Now is the time to try Susan's restorative class. One or two gentle days will not set you back. In fact, they may be just the thing you need to see you through to the end of this program.

Here is an idea: Use one of your daily meditation practices to do a restorative practice like savasana, or put your legs up the wall and just relax for 10 minutes.

And remember...baby steps!

This week's questions:

1.What excess baggage am I carrying around with me? What thoughts, feelings, worries, or past situations am I clinging to that drain me?

2.What do I most need to let go of ? What are the things that I would be relieved to finally release? Anger toward someone in my life? Stress about money? Fears that arose from a past negative experience?

3.Do I really give myself enough time to relax and restore myself? How can I carve out more time for this?
