Chakra Balancing

It's been a crazy few weeks. May was a bonkers month. Twists, turns, ups and downs. This is obvious as my writing here has been very neglected. I've been wanting to write, I have lists & lists of potential posts ready but just haven't had chance, time or energy to get them posted. 

Funnily enough I'd booked myself in early for a Chakra balancing treatment at Bodhi J. I was feeling frazzled. Emotionally I'd been on a roller coaster. Self inflicted I know! I was so ready for this treatment. No surprise which of my energy points were out; root, sacral & throat. First two are definitely down to my hormones getting back to their natural state after years of being pumped with false ones. Throat, well, I've not been speaking up for myself, sugar coating and even yes small white lies have been told to cover up my real feelings or thoughts. My aura was still glowing with genuine intention, my heart is in the right place. 

I certainly felt more centered after wards but totally knackered. All I could do was get myself home and collapse! I think this must be usual, after all suddenly having your personal energy tapped into, moved and adjusted it is going to be draining. 

A couple of weeks on I'm feeling good. Things feel more settled. It may be because of the Venus Transit that came through this week. All the recent craziness has come to a head and dispersed. Truths are out, problems have been recognised but solutions still need to be put in place. 

Half Way - Day 30

I realised yesterday I'd hot the half way point in the 60 day challenge. I know I'm not really counting the days but it felt good to be at this point. I just need to do the same again. After a rocky week last week with loads of conflicting advice and thoughts flying round my head I've chilled out a bit. My mind is still very much on LA and preparing myself the best I can.

Had some great advice off a senior instructor last night not to kill myself in the first few weeks of training. Go at half pace. Don't be lazy but back off. If I fly in there all guns blazing and pushing hard I'll either A) get injured or B) end up in emergency care C) not make it to the end of the 9 weeks.

There's been discussion on the TT FB group page about  being rock stars at Training and doing every single posture in every single class. Good on those people for their positive determination and enthusiasm. Realistically after my rough UK classes where I was out my comfort zone, jet lag, nutrition all out of wack and dehydrated, I can safely say I won't be a rock staring it. Well at least not for the first weeks till I'm settled into  the journey. 

I will set no expectations now, if I rock, I rock, if I end up on my knees slowly melting into my mat so be it. I'll try to keep to my no drinking as I know it will make me sick in class but again if needs be I'll drink. I am not gonna set myself any crazy goals just that I will make it through the whole 9 weeks. Some way or other I will. I'll keep my head down, get on with it and let it happen.
