I’m relatively new to Shiva Nata and have only been doing it for a couple of weeks. So far I’m falling into the category of having fun with it and laughing at my uncoordinated arms, but I’m sure my perfectionist stuff will come up eventually. I’ve got another reason why people should do it – anything that makes your arms hurt that much has got to be good for you! Also, I’ve finally found an outlet for my oddly bent outwards forearms – vertical 3 is particularly easy for me because my arms already kind of tilt outwards like that. Weird I know, but in this case it’s come in handy. On the brain front, I’ve definitely had a few things come up that have surprised me. My brain is like pattern central station :-) Finally, a combination of Shiva Nata and the book ‘Wishcraft’ (which you talked about on your blog) have finally gotten me writing – something I had been avoiding and procrastinating about for years. Yay! I do 10 minutes or so of Shiva Nata every day before sitting down to write and so far it’s been immensely helpful. So, in summary, thank you so much!

I’m going to up the challenge in my next session, since I feel I’m at a plateau and stuck in the ‘doing it right before going on’ part you just described. More legs, more confusion, more laughing at myself for being clumsy, more buzzy-ness in the brain!
