March Yoga Experience: Day 5


This morning, I found out about the earthquake in Japan, and I had that dream on early Thursday morning about a disaster. I didn’t put it all together until I started writing! The night before the dream, I was talking with my friend Kathleen about having visions and dreams and wanting to gain better clarity in them. She asked me why I wanted to do that, and my thought was so that I can help people. I pray for the people of Japan as I have been though a horrible earthquake myself.

Morning Chat
How does my stomach feel – settled, upset, gaseous, calm? Consider and note what I ate in the past 24 hours.
I felt lighter today as I only had a little bit of eggs at the salad bar last night–no meat. I think my body likes it better when I don’t eat meat.

How does my body feel, in particular my head (clear, heavy, agitated)? What is my energy level like?
I was a bit tired as I only had 7 hours of sleep–but it was worth it as Dan and I made a podcast last night! But overall I felt more rested.

Evening Chat
What was my energy level like today?
Super low energy going into Jen’s class tonight–well, more like confused, scattered energy. I was on the phone with my friends and family on the West Coast to make sure they were OK as the news reported that the tsunami may hit the enter coast! Work was also crazy with lots of interruptions, so I just wanted to feel grounded. During practice, I had to take a child’s pose to settle back in to my breath and release all the thoughts.

Did I eat anything that produced unfavorable results or favorable ones?
My stomach felt upset in Jen’s class–not sure if it was lunch or the stress of the day.

Overall – how do I FEEL?
Tired again. Went to bed at 10:30–and it felt like it was 2 a.m.
