Sometimes it is wonderful how the universe works. Somedays it hands your flowers, other days... well, if one did not have to get out of bed, one probably would not!
As many of you know I bought a pass to hot yoga last September. I had really missed my yoga and even though I detest doing it in a super heated room, I found that the teacher really was a wonderful teacher and I learned from her. She has since left as she was substituting for the regular teacher who recently had a baby.
The teacher ran a fire sequence in class recently. She picks one of four themes (earth, water, fire and air) and runs her classes around them. I only noticed when she had an short talk about fire. She encouraged us all to find or own fires in our lives, our own anger and to let them go. It was a wonderful reminder and seemed especially fitting with some recent events. The universe works in strange ways....
A few years ago, on my own journey to be a better person, I realized something very important about myself. When I was hurt, I did not deal with the hurt that I felt. I did not know how... Instead I sprang instantly and directly into fire or anger. So, I after I realized this, I had to do a lot of thinking, healing, asking for forgiveness and forgiving.
I also had to figure out a way to stop striking out with anger and instead convey my true feelings. It has taken a lot of time to figure out the proper way to do this and I will be honest. I am not perfect, I make mistakes and I sometimes I do revert back to anger. Remember, I am a work in progress!
So, when my yoga instructor asked us to find our anger and let is go, I was happy to say that there was no anger in my life to be found. In my journey, I have also come to realize that hanging onto anger is very draining.
Now, to find a proper way to deal with the hurt....
