like a tree trunk
4/20
had a physical break through today!!!
it wasn't till the very end of the balancing series in (aptly enough) vrksasana/tree pose that i felt it: my leg became absolutely rock hard and rooted into the ground.
i know this doesn't sound like a big deal, but i have been doing this practice for almost 2 years, 2-4 times a week, and i just got it. i knew i hadn't been completely stable in these one legged postures; i just had no idea that you are literally supposed to feel as if your leg is a solid pole going straight into the earth.
what i think this means is that i finally got all the muscles in my leg correctly aligned, and it happened with both legs!!!! (i tend to be a bit uneven so this really rox)
anyway, it feels like a big deal for me.
unfortunately, i also know that epiphanies can vanish as quickly as they come; sometimes they are just a little carrot to keep you working as hard as you can.
