I lay on my belly in Frog pose, leaning into the juicy stretch across my inner hips.
The moment feels so peaceful that my mind begins to wander.
She wanders to the filing cabinets of thought and towards the job that has taken up so many hours of my life.
Did that email get sent - did I have to get that done today, tonight, or tomorrow?
Will they be disappointed in me?
Am I messing everything up?
And then the yoga fairy, with her tutu made of Arabian bells, and her wand of a sparkling dust, marches steadfast through my ear and into my brain.
Stopping to get a handle on all the thoughts, she rounds them all up.
Like a professional swatting flies, she swishes each thought out of my brain, proclaiming in a bold stance,
“You did not pay admission for this yoga class.”
- a random musing
I love this one. It’s a constant struggle to battle my work thoughts and feelings of stress/anxiety, and stay present in moments when I’m supposed to be relaxing. I love the image of the fairy with Arabian bells saying nope, get out of here.
