this is so so so challenging for me right now. i’ve only been doing dance of shiva for 2 weeks. 2 weeks! and in the first week, from doing the slow parts of level 1, i had pretty much an epiphany a day. and it was amazing. i loved it. i felt like i was getting myself on a deeper level than ever before.

and now, a week past that, with a daily 10 minute practice, i get…i mean, i feel GOOD. i feel GREAT-loose and easy and happy–but no more epiphanies. or maybe everything is an epiphany. i moved to fast level 1 arms to push the challenge/ flailing level…

…maybe i’m too focused on the epiphanies? but they were so great. maybe this whole thing is a pattern that i’m supposed to be dealing with?

oh. wait. yes, it is.

*bing*.

“You don’t master the Dance of Shiva.
Dance of Shiva masters you.”

“If you’re in a plateau, stay there for a while. As long as it’s hard for you.
That’s a key point. As long as it’s hard for you.
Because it is always, always, always hard.
If it’s not hard? You’re doing it wrong. ”

This posts (and this blog, and the fluent self, and the Yoga Master duck) makes lots, really lots of sense.

I can’t figure how much, and in what etnent, but I see that it is very very much.

Thank you so much, Havi.
Your blogs sparks epiphanies.

Is a compendium of shocks.

Nice writing, because this describes many things from my life:
trying to master that role I played to sold out houses and rave reviews but never quite got to where I wanted it;
trying to master my obsessive, addictive love for a long-ago crush that was really just a moment in time;
trying to master my connection with a spirituality I suspect I don’t really have;
trying to master how others perceive me — yes, all of the impossibles in life, you sum up in the practice of a dance. Enough emotion for my artist-self, enough science for my critic-self.
MAN Havi, you are good.

I’m still working through the basics and getting to grips with what’s involved, but I tried it without the DVD today to see how I did.

Mmmmm, I got that lovely warm feeling in my brain from the cogs whirring round and round. You know how old engines smell, kind of hot grease and metal on metal? I imagine that’s exactly how my brain smelt. If you could smell my brain. Which I really hope you can’t, cause I kind of like having it in my head, thanks :)
