What Do the Yogis Know?
from Plot Twist · host Christine DeFazio
Some of us are not out there living our lives. We are pre-living the next problem. We are in a constant state of bracing. UNCONSCIOUS bracing which is its own unique flavor. Bracing is a form of hope distorted by fear. It says: maybe if I prepare enough, this will hurt less.Your nervous system learned this from your history. Downshifting is is coming out of emergency mode long enough to remember who you are.Welcome to “What Do the Yogis Know?” I’ve have never aspired to be a yogi. Respect all of you who are or are aspiring yogis. That said, there are really great benefits from doing yoga (other than flexibility) and I WANT what the yogis HAVE!This is about the quieter thing underneath it – the possibility that the body knows how to hold on, and it also knows how to let go, but many of us have become so fluent in holding on that letting go feels foreign or not even like an option.That quieting…Is the beginning of a PLOT TWIST.
