GOD, THIS IS BEAUTIFUL! TAKE THE TIME TO READ IT ❤️
As someone who writes often, I naturally appreciate epic writing when I see it. This morning, I came across this written piece of art and it moved me deeply, so I had to share it with all of you! Not only are these words true theatre, they also act as sound advice ❤️

my brain and
heart divorced

a decade ago

over who was
to blame about
how big of a mess
I have become

eventually,
they couldn't be
in the same room
with each other

now my head and heart
share custody of me

I stay with my brain
during the week

and my heart
gets me on weekends

they never speak to one another

- instead, they give me
the same note to pass
to each other every week

and their notes they
send to one another always
says the same thing:

"This is all your fault"

on Sundays
my heart complains
about how my
head has let me down
in the past

and on Wednesday
my head lists all
of the times my
heart has screwed
things up for me
in the future

they blame each
other for the
state of my life

there's been a lot
of yelling - and crying

so,

lately, I've been
spending a lot of
time with my gut

who serves as my
unofficial therapist

most nights, I sneak out of the
window in my ribcage

and slide down my spine
and collapse on my
gut's plush leather chair
that's always open for me

~ and I just sit sit sit sit
until the sun comes up

last evening,
my gut asked me
if I was having a hard
time being caught
between my heart
and my head

I nodded

I said I didn't know
if I could live with
either of them anymore

"my heart is always sad about
something that happened yesterday
while my head is always worried
about something that may happen tomorrow,"
I lamented

my gut squeezed my hand

"I just can't live with
my mistakes of the past
or my anxiety about the future,"
I sighed

my gut smiled and said:

"in that case,
you should
go stay with your
lungs for a while,"

I was confused
- the look on my face gave it away

"if you are exhausted about
your heart's obsession with
the fixed past and your mind's focus
on the uncertain future

your lungs are the perfect place for you

there is no yesterday in your lungs
there is no tomorrow there either

there is only now
there is only inhale
there is only exhale
there is only this moment

there is only breath

and in that breath
you can rest while your
heart and head work
their relationship out."

this morning,
while my brain
was busy reading
tea leaves

and while my
heart was staring
at old photographs

I packed a little
bag and walked
to the door of
my lungs

before I could even knock
she opened the door
with a smile and as
a gust of air embraced me
she said

"what took you so long?"

Yoga diary: Setubhandasana or the bridge at peace with the world

In the Bridge we begin by lying in a supine position resting the spine against the earth. Immediately the parasympathetic system kicks in and our chakras begin to attune to the earth creating a deep and restful alignment.

As we draw each vertebra up one at a time we bring the spine into an inversion. It’s beneficial to begin with a gentle rocking of the sacrum to encourage balance within the lower spine. This embraces a stability and flow.

In this gentle inverted pose there is a lock, or bandha, generated at the top with the mild squeeze at the throat. The thyroid gland is stimulated creating an impact on our metabolism. There is a wonderful restorative balancing of the metabolic rate and the mind is held in a state of almost suspended awareness. Peace is established.

Inverted postures slow the ageing process as the flow through the spine is reversed. The key is to direct our awareness through each vertebra to the top of the spine. Without hurry or worry.

In Setubandhadana not only do we physically simulate the arch of a bridge but also the deeper aspect of bridging earth to heaven - base to crown - or outer rhythm to inner rhythm.

On coming back down to meet the earth there is a wonderful release at the throat. As our metabolism is harmonised we assimilate life’s experiences better and integrate them into our consciousness. Everything finds it right place and we are at peace with the world. Om.
