Listening

I was told that 60 day Challenge is a life altering experience.

Well, I have to admit after 30 days I can feel and see the changes have been taking place bodily and intellectually. Some of them are simple stuff like, my waistline is smaller, I am more aware of how I stand, walk. I am centered. I do not get irritated easily, I listen better therefore instructions make sense and help me to improve.

The other evening during Bikram class I found myself doing the Tree Pose which has been a challenge for me. It is one of those awkward poses you see in the magazines and think that this is the reason I should not try yoga.
It was unexpected, unintended. It just happened. I was able to do this pose because I listen better. Instructions made more sense than ever. I leaned down from my hips, streched the spine, lifted my buttocks and I was sitting on my one leg.
I have a lot of listening to do before I can perfect my Tree pose. No matter what, I felt like a baby who took her first step.
