Bakasana

I don’t know why, but crow has always been my crux pose.  (Crux by Merriam-Webster; a puzzling or difficult problem.)  It is the pose that despite my training, my fitness level.  It has always been a puzzle, a riddle.  I always want to lean too far forward, then too far back.

Apparently the crow is the messenger that awaken’s your authentic self. 

I know I have always struggled with making the right choices in life, what do I want, where I am going, who do I want to be?  There is an inner guide that seems to be in conflict with everyone and everything conventional wisdom tells me I am supposed to focus on… what I am supposed to work towards…

The Crow, according to google, is telling all of us that the time of change is here.  The time of change is now.  Let go of old self and step into power.  this is the authentic self. 

So, what a timely post… right?  lately I have been feeling this strange pull to get on the mat.  To show up for my kids, for my husband, for myself…

and in the last week… all of the sudden.. crow pose has been lighter.  My feet float off the floor.  It feels like joy instead of struggle and I think to myself.   This is it… I can fly. 

So today, try encorporating CROW into your practice.  our guide.  our authentic self.  showing up.  every day.  We’ve got this.

Namaste
