I started Journey into Power by Baron Baptiste this evening. I got to a paragraph that felt especially relevant to just about every part of my life right now, off and on the mat:
So much of life is about our beliefs (i.e., blocks) about what we can and cannot do, and our subconscious mind brilliantly obliges by manifesting circumstances and conditions that reflect our core beliefs. But when you test and breathe through those boundaries, the blocks start to move and eventually dissolve. Of course, if you choose, you can do a ho-hum practice and steer completely clear of your edge. You might even get a few benefits from that. But if you want big results, play your edge in every pose…
As I was reading it, an email came through from a regular student of mine; she is training to be a teacher, and has been coming to my classes regularly since shortly after I started teaching. Here is the message:
Just a quick note!Today’s class was INTENSE! I loved it! From a different point of view, though, it’s obvious in the last few months how you are growing as a teacher. Great job, Lauren!!!
