jackshoegazerSomeone call the police. I'd like to report a murder. Yes, yoga killed my legs. They are for all intents and purposes, dead. I can't even get a pulse and they don't seem to be breathing.
Last week, post-yoga, I was fine. This week, I am dying. So much so that I called into work. Granted I really pushed myself this week and really explored all the tension in my legs. Tomorrow's elliptical workout should be interesting.
This oft-purported idea that the body is somehow evil or at least base compared to consciousness or the soul has been bothering me lately. As much as the idea of ghosts is interesting, the soul or consciousness if you like, can not exist without a home. No golden peak without the rest of the pyramid first. You know. I don't understand why people would call the need for houses evil. Even tribes in the Amazon built shelters. So why not make your home a nice place, a place where your soul would like to happily reside. Enlightenment isn't a lifting, it's about encompassing, including. And yes, sometimes my soul would greatly love a bacon cheeseburger and some ice cream. It also doesn't want getting off the couch to be a chore. Get it?
