Beautiful.

I too, love being upside down. Some places call for it, and there no resisting the call-- as if the call must be honored. When I'm upside down, I'm able to balance-- and I have a problem with releasing my neck so my head can fully drop and I can look forward-- it seems I want to look at the ground, like I'll lose my balance if I don't. On another level it appears that I'm unable to give up thinking; so when I'm upside down, all the tension flows into my neck-- and it feels like my rigid neck becomes the fine-tuning that holds me in balance. It's like I'm avoiding that release-- which coincides, interestingly, with my not feeling able to speak to someone significant in my life. I've been searching for words and not finding any-- none that speak from the depth of my heart-- and to speak, at this point, from a place that's less than heart-truth, my truth-- I just can't do it (I've tried otherwise). Something in me is adamant about that.

I'm going to go practice handstands-- and focus on releasing and trust.

Shabnam, thanks for you. You inspire me-- it's fun to be able to touch base every so often with what you are up to through tribe.
