Day 30
I am at the end...wow
9:00am
TRX
10:15am
Hatha/Yin Yoga
these are my last "scheduled" classes
I have really seen a difference in my core strength
which is something this practice focuses on
moves that were "killing" me at the beginning
are now still working me
but with much more ease and control

It is wonderful to see ones progress
and feel that sort of accomplishment...
but it does not stop here
I will continue with the TRX
and will be incorporation more of a variety
into my yoga practice.
I was speaking yesterday with a sister-friend
who did the month challenge with me
(using a different program)
about the things that came up for us,
during this period of intentional movement.
One of my intentions was to love my body better.
I can feel I moved forward in that
and yet I see I still have a ways to go.
This lack of body love was embedded in some
deep wounds of the past
and has been walking with me for far too long
yet
I have made progress
and I am so much further from where I once was
when I abused and loathed my body
so for that
today
I am deeply grateful
I will continue on this journey
cherishing my body as the temple it is
learning to loosen those things inside of me
that serve me no more
and take in the truth of the beauty and power
my body holds
This may take me for the rest of my
human life
and I am good with that
I think what is important with intention
is that we never go back
always move forward
making our way to the truth
forging our way to divine freedom
no matter how long it takes to get there
because truly
the gifts are found in the journey.
Spiritually
wow
What can I say?
Where do I start?
So many gift given
So many revelations
So many teachings past on
it is hard to know where to start
I will say this
I have realized through this Soul-Full Journey
filled with it's intentions
that there has been lingering shame within my life.
Shame of some of my choices in the past
and though I have walked through this place
time and time again
there remains a residue
and that residue has left me feeling a lingering
of entrapment
of which I was not aware.
Undoubtedly my journey with Eagle
has brought this to the forefront
allowing me to see
knowing
it was time for me to see
because
I had made that time
I had made that space
this is what intention creates
It creates time and space
for these lingering residues to bubble up
And this creating of time and space
is not embraced in our busy, instant culture
There were many times I felt challenged
I remember at one point saying to myself
"Really??? How much more "slowed down" can I be???!!!
MUH!
lol
And so it is with intention;
challenging
yet oh so rewarding...
Not only did this time of intention bring
the residue of shame to the forefront
but also it brought with it
a shift of perspective
driving me closer to the freedom I live/strive for.
Taking flight with Eagle meant freeing myself
from that shame of past mistakes
Mistakes made by a girl/woman who was living in lack
not understanding the abundance that is for all
to take hold of
the abundance that was hers to have and hold
Discovering that shame
challenged me to o deep within
and be the person I was created to be
IN SPITE
of my bad choices.
I once thought that a spiritual pilgrimage
was only for a period of time
Now I know
it is a continuum
a life time of journeying
back to Oneself.
This journey can be one of uncertainty
but
I can
I will
I do
trust
that uncertainty.
Thank you my lovelies
for bearing witness to this my journey
My hope
My prayer
is that it has touched something in you
awakened a light deep within
so that you too will find courage
to begin or continue
your journey back to yourself
for I love
the company of your spirit.
Blessings
Love and Light

so very powerful. I've loved reading this journey of yours ( which continues as you said). I'm working on some shame issues of my own too. Facing them has taken courage but looking at them doesn't frighten me any more. I have compassion for the younger me now. I was doing the only thing I knew how at the time.

The thing about even the bad decisions is that they've led us here to this glorious shining moment. Perhaps we should love them even more for being very good signposts, directing us to healing. Love you!!!

well said my wise friend...well said!
Deletelove that
and
love you!

Its interesting how the physical challenge and spiritual journey go together. As I mentioned to you, what came up for me in this month's journey was lingering fears. I know I have had much healing in this area, but there are many layers and things that I never would have identified as fear I am now realizing are forms of it. Thanks for sharing your journey my lovely friend, always so good to have your beautiful words and insight inspire me.
