Came across this today by diasporadawta on her blog on tumblr.com:
“the body locks our traumas inside and archives them for future discovery and, hopefully, healing. each trauma needs to be unraveled and eased, the scars opened, massaged, and broken down. the body can become like a tree that’s root-bound and dying; the roots need to be very gently pulled apart, not just hacked off. that’s the healing role of yoga” - ana forrest
My Sacral Chakra work is still in progress. It’s been quiet the journey… endings and beginnings, fits and starts, but overall good for the soul. I’m learning a lot about myself and the process of being present. I’ve made some positive changes: whether at home or in the studio Yoga has become a daily practice and I’m writing a little bit more frequently, which feels really good.
I was a little overwhelmed with what I perceived as constant negative occurrences throughout this practice but I realized that there were kinks, roots, issues that needed to be worked out and no one said it was going to be a cake walk.
As Toni Morrison’s character Amy said about Sethe’s feet in Beloved “Anything dead coming back to life hurts.” Sometimes it’s necessary to revisit pain stories from your past in order to really let it all go.
