Reflections

Today I was reflecting back over some of the aspects of my journey; 1)Back in school I would have to fidget constantly (move about in my desk, tap, flap my hands, twist/crumple paper, or anything else that helped me to say present) otherwise I would find myself drifting off in thought, sometimes I would just read the text book because I found it next to impossible to focus on the teacher. In reflection it was like I was in a Charlie Brown cartoon hearing the teachers voice like 'Wah wah wah wah wah...' 2)How absolutely difficult it is to drive a motor-vehicle (maybe a motorbike would be easier) when I have to navigate a city from within the confines of a vehicle and pay attention to lights, pedestrians, signs, and all the other stimulus as well as be aware of what is in the blind spaces of a vehicle I become so over stimulated that my depth perception is destroyed and I can hardly take a corner appropriately or judge distance from the vehicle to anything else. I stay safest by not driving. 3)How far I have come through my adult hood in the past couple years compared to all the years prior. Yoga being the major reason for that, but the only reason that I have been able to focus on this amount of yoga has been because the government support that I have received as well as my Mother for covering my first teacher training. 4)One of the styles of learning that I have continually done in my life is to scan a document and read all the bold/italics and underlined text so that I can navigate as rapidly as I can to the major points of what I am reading about (that is if they have it in there writing). Learning to breath in a rhythmic manner has been such a help on my journey. I am both nervous and tremendously excited to start Teaching Teachers of Yoga.
