Sweet Jeebus! It took me a while to figure out what I was looking at in that pose. Kudos for being able to make your body do that. My body is still asking what is happening…*tee hee*

Clarity from a friend is remarkable. Especially when it reveals how our thinking sabotages our own happiness & well being.

Well I thought I would give this My Achy Shin Ha Ha a try just to see if I would be able to accomplish it in my lifetime.

Yeah, probably not.

Next time someone says something negative about you, drop into this pose and say, “Your turn.”

“Third, look what I can do,” as he does one-handed handstand push-ups.

“I’m not sure what that has to do with anything.”

“No, no. He has a point.”

Whenever those little voices start muttering that you are not a good person, REMEMBER YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON. (That was my voice shouting…by the way…very loudly…all the way from France)
I’m off to try and tie my wrists in a knot. It might improve my harmonium playing

I tried it, and man, do my shoulders feel better already!

Around 4:00 in the morning on Saturday my husband gave me a new perspective on something that affects me. It’s hard to hold on to revelations at that hour, but I’m trying!

You have a very good friend.

And, apparently, a pretzel-like body. I’m amazed that you can do that.

Good lord! You can do that? Color me impressed.

You know, i still hear those negative messages too. I try not to, but they are permanently etched on my brain.

I wish you luck in getting rid of them. I haven’t been able to. Maybe i don’t want it enough.

First, I’m doubly impressed that you can do that! I’m not sure I could do that even if I was limber.

Second, I hear you on the whole negative messages when were growing up thing. My older brother is nothing more than a bully. As we know, bullies are bullies due to their own low self-esteem. This still doesn’t lessen the pain for their victims, of which I was one until he finally moved out of our house. It has taken me a long time to truly value the person I am and to also understand that those around me, including my own children, will often make decisions that I may not agree with.

What a wonderful friend you have. True friends can see your soul, not just the person you are on the outside.

“suck out the power they have over me”

I think this is some of the wisest advice I have heard in a long time. Wonderful!
