Remember how I talked about learning last week that yoga was physically taxing? Learned another thing this week... they're not kidding when they say it's good for the mind and spirit. I have to tell you, I just couldn't wait to do the Yoga X workout this afternoon when I got home from collecting the rent at the house that I own in the west end of Oberlin. To me, that house symbolizes everything that went wrong for the last three years with my relationship, my professional life, and my spiritual well-being. My ex (the cat owner) says that sometimes he misses it and has a lot of good memories about the place. Not me.... not even a little bit.I'm glad and grateful the woman who is renting it from me and her children love the place...I really am. To me, it just sucks me dry emotionally to even see it. It's the first time I have been back there and actually crossed the threshold there since I moved out. Seeing new furniture in the living room and the hallways was a good reminder that it's in the past, but it still felt icky to be there, and leaving after I got the rent felt like being paroled.
The Yoga X workout was perfect after this experience. I actually felt centered and rebalanced; probably it's because of the controlled breathing, but I also have a feeling that it's because every day that I am doing this program, I am taking care of Adam... and the body in which Adam lives.
update on 1/20/10 - Forgot to add the menu for the day. it was the same pattern, relatively speaking
