Healing with Ashtanga: Modulating stress on autopilot

This time of year brings up stress. It’s not always in real time, but rather in remembering…

Not just in the mind, but in the nervous system and in the tissues. As the mornings are darker, the unconscious becomes brighter, and all that is held inside me comes alive in a new way. This shows up as inklings of thought that generate more depth, or sometimes a standstill—a pause too long—that highlights a blockage.

How to identify and get past the stagnant feeling where words or feelings are numbed? Move my body! My Ashtanga yoga practice has been my savior through the years.

Book description:

My Secret Innuendo: In the Tiniest House of Time is a collection of poems and creative expression written during the most raw years of a woman’s life, finally given room to breathe after more than a decade has passed. One angle is a woman speaking to the animus, the inner masculine of Jungian psychology; in another she is speaking to her higher power. Who is listening in any given poem is left open. The title itself is a quiet metaphor: words and memories stored within a house in the mind, timeless yet suggestive and evocative. If you've ever needed permission to feel everything at once—and read or write about it—this book is for you.
