We learned reflexology in the last half of my classes today. Needless to say VERY wonderful! The feet are amazing little things we don't give enough credit to. So break out your oils and give those tootsies some TLC.
In my second yoga class today with Gabby she sung the Gayatri Mantra that we need to know for one part of our exams. Hardly anyone in the class was repeating after her so I had to pipe up :P So THANK YOU GABBY! Through this I finally have for sure in my head. Such a pretty montra. I love it.
Lane called me today and told me he was playing in the company gold tournament (which I know he loves so all in all we are both having great days which rocks!). What is especially wonderful it that this will be the last Saturday that I see his lovely face on Skype. This time next week he will be with me here in Miami! Can't wait.
Till then, I am staying focused on all my yoga - Allaine told me today that the videos I sent her of my practicing teaching with the for poses for the lower back and treating pain were well regarded by her son :P Thank you! that says a lot :) Allaine's 9 yr old son also made her a candle light dinner to come home to since she was going to be working till late. It's that the sweetest thing!
I spoke with two of my dear friends today when I got home from classes today. One of them, in Toronto Cananda, is achieving her and her husbands dream and moving to LA next month! I am so excited to hear this. It was been a couple years since they set up to make this move and I know there has been times where she has wondered why it wasn't happening sooner. But the wait is over and next month they will be LIVING in LA!
My other friend, in Tamarindo Costa Rica, last year was struggling with her business and getting the word out there on her business. I made some suggestions on how to use trip advisor to help her as well as a business fb page. She messaged me today saying that a year later since doing what I suggested she has saved up enough income with all the revenue her business made through these free ways to promote it, that she is ready to take her business to the next level. Amazing news! I am super stocked for her and so touched by her message of gratitude to me today. She did it! I am so happy for both of my dear friends and there success!
To all my other dear friends and family who I have not spoken much to in the last two month (before I got here with all my work gearing up to leave and then the time that I have been here in this training), let me take this time to thank you for you love and understanding. One more week to go. I have learned so much and I am excited to share all of my leanings with all of you.
One of my friends asked me what I thought of how it has been in this course. I told her I couldn't answer her at this time. I told her I would get back to here two days after the end of my course when I am on the other side. I will tell you the start was nothing like what I was envisioning or expecting. Nevertheless, sometime the things that stick with us the most in life are the things that we cannot plan for. I did tell my friend that I am proud of myself.
About two weeks into the first section of our course with Fred he told us a story about a caterpillar cocoon. He told us this story of these two boy who walk each day through the forest to school. They saw this caterpillar cocoon on there walk every day. One day they saw that the caterpillar cocoon has split open and that there is a butterfly struggling to break free of its caterpillar cocoon. One of the boys decided to help the butterfly and cut the caterpillar cocoon open so it could get out. He did so, and away the boys went to school. The next day they came across the same caterpillar cocoon and the butterfly was there beside the caterpillar cocoon dead. You see, the butterfly needed that struggle of breaking through it's own caterpillar cocoon in order to build enough strength to fly.
I know it is a little self evident the results in this story but I think for me it is what has helped me gain perspective.
I am not sure why, but the last few days I haven't had much to day on this blog. In this section of my course, Gentle Therapeutics, with Allaine, I have found some inner peace. Some inner quiet and I am taking a moments to let it resonate.
