As we were in an asana, my hands didn’t come together behind my back. I could sense the instructor’s gaze. As I struggled to keep my hands together, I felt her hands forcing my hands together. I immediately thought I would feel a tidal wave of pain because I had tight shoulders and pain in the deltoid. Nada. Zip! Zero. No pain. My hands came together and centered on my back. I don’t have an explanation for that. I appreciated the instructors adjustment because I’m unable to move forward. When adjusted, the body may remember and strive towards correct posture.
The Sutras. 5,000 years old. I noticed differences in English translations between B.K.S. iyengar. Desikachar, and swamis on YouTube. They were interesting. I tended to belief in the commentary of a Sanskrit scholar, Dr. Katy Poole. ” Don’t worry about mean. Forget the meanings. Focus on the sound, the pronunciation. Do the chant in Sanskrit. It will unlock the coding in the self.” I agreed. Words in Sanskrit were based upon frequency they admitted. The sutras are perfect. So, I am doing the chanting in Sanskrit.
For now, I will postpone the you tube chanting video.
