Shamanic Drum

Practise this morning was great. My wrist wasn't too sore which was a good thing. It was really cold this morning which made it extremely hard to get out of bed and even to stay on the mat. But I did stay and finish my practise. It took quite a while to get into it as I was quite stiff and I noticed myself shaking from time to time. It wasn't because I was pushing myself a little, but felt more like a release of stress and tension. It's been a weird week and I could feel something moving energetically during my practise. I know it'll take a couple of weeks to get back into the routine and allow my body to adjust. It feels fantastic doing so. Looking forward to tomorrow's practise now. I love getting towards the end of practise with the sun peaking through the clouds and its rays greeting me for the new day. So magickal.

In other news in my life, I'll be making a Native American hoop drum this Sunday. I'll be making it with my friend Wolfsong in her teepee. This is a project long overdue. It will be the beginning of another new chapter in my life. I want to explore the world of shamanic drumming quite intensely and having my own drum made by me will only empower that journey. It will be a spiritual day indeed.

Finally!

Finally I'm back on the mat. I've started doing my practise at home again. Can't afford studio time at the moment, but that's okay because I'm able to at least do some practise at home. My wrist is still not 100% but I'm able to work around it for once. I've also been doing medition quite regularly which has been helping me a lot, especially since my yoga has been on hold. I am missing the shala very much, miss the vibe, energy and spirit of the place and it's people. It's been a big lesson the past couple of months but one I needed to learn. The next step is to continue working on my practise at home and get back into the swing of things and then when finances allow, I can return to the shala. I can't beleive how much I've missed practise. I now realise just how important my practise is to me. The benefits are truly amazing. There is much more respect for what I am doing. A new chapter is beginning :)
