“You may keep your feet
up, and you may not,” is what the Yoga instructor said. I smiled.
Everything is as it should be. Everything is perfect.
For years, I had abandoned my body. I mean, it was a means to
fulfilling my mental and spiritual wishes! I had heard all the cliches: Your
Body is Your Temple; Body, Mind and Spirit integration, etc. But today I
discovered Yoga. Oh, I had known about Yoga for years and my sister and
all my friends raved about it. But alas, I couldn’t be bothered.
Until today.
“Choose your venture, whatever
you like to do today!” The Yoga instructor said gently.
As I struggled to keep my
toes off the matt I realized that today, I took the first step to becoming the
Peace Warrior I already AM! Yes! Today, I quit smoking, went to Yoga, swam,
enjoyed the hot tub and felt at peace with my body in a long time.
A blessed thank you to all of you who supported me getting here,
especially my beloved sister, Nooshin.
Love, Y
Niloo
