It takes a long time sometimes before things look like anywhere near what you imagine it will, but I think that's where faith comes in. And trust too. Only two of the most difficult things in life, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-85318502965647019842007-07-03T23:15:00.000+08:002007-07-03T23:15:00.000+08:00Stephanie - Hey, nice of you to swing by. :)I know...Stephanie - Hey, nice of you to swing by. :)<BR/><BR/>I know of people who first started yoga for various reasons - to lose weight, to de-stress, to get a more flexible body. But as they practice more, they begin to feel the benefits in other areas of their life. <BR/><BR/>I guess one way to start yoga is just to find a studio or gym that offers it and sign up. First step is always the hardest. <BR/><BR/>No problem with the Discworld thing. But you can really just dive in and pick up any Discworld book at random.<BR/><BR/>After a while, all the Discworld novels will melt into one gigantic epic world in your head.darkorpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565452271408221461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-4308825020105844842007-07-03T20:31:00.000+08:002007-07-03T20:31:00.000+08:00I have always wanted to practice Yoga.

I just never knew where to start. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for all the Discworld advice. I tell you, Pratchett's website had me more confused than I already was. Truthfully, I'll probably go in series order. I think that would appeal to me more than published...and I'll probably start with the witches. But who knows!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055676171075203563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-8906784324574070282007-07-03T12:13:00.000+08:002007-07-03T12:13:00.000+08:00I'm wondering if I am really progressing in my pra...I'm wondering if I am really progressing in my practice. I guess I'm going back to basics right now, trying to figure out stuff.<BR/><BR/>If your practice is bringing up a lot of emotions, it may mean you are feeling the effects of yoga - which is a good thing.<BR/><BR/>Yoga Journal has a few articles on dealing With emotions during Yoga by yoga teachers: <BR/><A HREF="http://www.yogajournal.com/practice/806_1.cfm" REL="nofollow">Sarah Powers</A> and <A HREF="http://www.yogajournal.com/practice/511_1.cfm" REL="nofollow">John Friend</A>.<BR/><BR/>I agree, it can be a struggle to keep up the practice. It takes time away from other things in my life - especially my social life. "Is it worth it?" I often ask myself.<BR/><BR/>When I'm agitated or depressed - that's also when I most want to skip class. But that's also when I need yoga the most. Sometimes the best thing I can do for myself is just to show up for class.<BR/><BR/>Take care, LK. Just keep showing up. But if you think we need a break, it's okay to rest, and come back later.darkorpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565452271408221461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-2929278546203428502007-07-03T08:00:00.000+08:002007-07-03T08:00:00.000+08:00I'm interested in your yoga progress.

It is bringing up a lot of emotions, which sort of surprised me!LKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05445951627105831041noreply@blogger.com
