Day 2 Three Hours To Navasana Freeman Workshop

Almost did pictures but still haven’t figured how to upload from IPhone to WordPress. If you have any ideas tell me or I will figure out once I get to a real computer. Blogging from IPad which is less than ideal.

Did you ever feel like the universe was restraining you from doing what you really want. Then someone reinforces to you that you are doing what you should. In other words it isn’t telling you to quit something, but that you should do something else.

Today was kind of like that.

This morning was primary up to Navasana. In three hours. I felt pretty good until the end of it then was overwhelmed with physical fatigue. The afternoon was short and mostly pranayama. Richard kept saying we would be doing third series and then the people in the group kept asking questions. The questions were actually pretty basic but to be honest maybe they were distracting him from more asana.

Richard was very psoas focused again today. We did some movement I swear I did with Tia’s Little. I love it but some don’t get it. I love it because the sacrum DROPS. I looked over some of the anatomical talk from yesterday and see the connection. It really is about a focus on internal alignment. When Richard talks about alignment it is very internal and subtle. I mean where else can you go in that three hours to Navasana but internal.

He gave a dharma talk on the Ashtanga invocation. The talked about Ida/Pingala, sun/moon, and fundamentalism. The invocation is out of reverence for ALL our gurus and we get in trouble when we worship one to the point of diminishing someone else’s and then he talked about us being a DANGER to society. It was humorous to a degree. He is great at bringing the light side to heavy philosophy. If it was just heavy it would be boring to some people I suppose.

When he talks about the Boulder community he is hysterical.

I am beginning to think to get to the deeper Richard teaching I am going to have to hit Boulder for Immersion or Intensive. I will have to think this over. Will probabaly not happen in 2013.

I will put up a final post when I get home. I have another 500 mile drive to Wisconsin tomorrow so I will have a lot of time to think about and absorb it all.
