Expect nothing
I went to yoga yesterday but it felt
different. Nowadays it always feels different.
One of my longest relationships has been
with yoga. It started 7 years ago. We have had good and bad moments. I went
from wanting nothing else but to practice, practice, practice to having to
force myself to go to the shala, and the other way around. I hit the bottom
several times, I filled myself with disappointment and allowed my ego to get
the best of me. But then I would come back and try again.
Every thing that was supposed to happen did
happen. A mix of joy and tears, trust and disbelief. I had the uauuuu moments
and the crappy moments. I did great and I did poorly – all entirely necessary.
But relationships are meant to evolve and
change. It’s natural! Truly speaking, I’ve lost my addiction and I’m happy for
that. It is when we lose the addiction that we can start healthy relationships.
Furthermore, my inner child - that was once so lost - is now content with what
is, with how far we have both come in our yoga journey.
I’m not giving up. Joy and tears, trust and
disbelief still go hand in hand. But I really want to enjoy the moment of expecting
absolutely nothing. Surprisingly (or not) as I let go of my need for control, my
urdhva dhanurasana (bridge pose that has always been a struggle for me) is finally
coming out.
