headstand

they say it is good for you to do postures and movements you don’t normally do, to get the blood circulating to places it generally escapes. you stand on your head and you definitely feel that blood heavily rushing to your face – your ears, your forehead, your cheeks, you feel it rushing to your brain. you are supposed to breath and not to think of anything. can you avoid thinking thoughts that enter your inverted mind? would the curiosity of thinking an inverted thought supersede the intention of following instructions and concentrating on the breath? are you here to learn peace and balance or are you here to experience thoughts that come to your upside-down brain during a headstand?

    This is exactly why I don't do yoga =)

    I love the idea of an inverted mind and 'upside down' thoughts. LOL

    I once said to a friend, "I'm afraid to be with my own thoughts" she laughed then and still teases me about this 10 years later . . . but I still have strange thoughts that sometimes I'm afraid being with.

    maybe they would seem less scary if you try thinking them standing on your head
