Lately my back has been resisting... well I have been resisting opening my back/ heart/ chest space. I say ‘I’ , because the space is there. But lately it just hadn’t been as easy as before. And I’ve been thinking on how everything internal and external are directly correlated. I’ve been building myself up to be so strong, safe, guarded- that the heart space is now stiff. I’ve been catching myself in my practice. And really thinking why I’ve been avoiding certain postures. It’s not because I can’t do it- I’m fully capable. I’m just sooo terrified of injury... injury that won’t even happen. It’s literally all in my head. But just as the heart is powerful, so is the mind. So if the mind fully thinks something, fully fears something, it creates a blockage that can be difficult to push through and inhibits you. The thing is for flow of life to happen the heart and mind need to move as one. The heart so strong that it allows the mind to be safe and at ease. 🤍Have you had similar moments? What did you do to encourage the alignment of the heart and mind? * I don’t own a television... found this vintage mirror on fb marketplace and put it there in place of a tv.
