Not a Gemini?
Hello friends, still really happy to be here. My mind wandered a little more than I'd like in practice this morning, but otherwise no complaints.
Anatomy today: pelvis and hips. We looked at different femurs today. Wow. People's femurs are SO different! Unbelievable. We saw how the shape of the ball that goes into the hip socket and the angle it attaches to the bone, etc effect hip movement and one's ability to get into...padmasana. Some people's are shaped in such a way that the femur bone hits the bone of the pelvis and they have to torque their knees to get into padmasana. I'm not sure how my femur is shaped. We'll just have to wait and see.
Right now, I'm still working through all the soft tissue.
I'm going to a chiropractor this afternoon who came recommended. It'll be nice to go to someone who's used to dealing with yogis. She apparently does other kinds of body work too. Yay. I'm really hoping to understand my back better and to heal it.
Not much else to report today, after my purge yesterday. Although, I was reminded of something emotionally traumatic that happened to me a long time ago yesterday. It made me feel that anxious feeling in my stomach. I sat down and meditated and I felt so much better. It's nice to know that this anxiousness is just habit, it's not how I'm hardwired. I can un-habituate it. Yay.
I got bored while I was eating today and read my book. Can't change habit over night....
Oh, and I forgot to explain my title! I met another student who also studies astrology...he tells me our Western system is out of date, the planets have realigned since it was set up and that according to Vedic astrology I am not a Gemini! I am a Taurus!!! He's going to do my chart for me and show me tomorrow. I'll keep you informed.
Love!
Lauren

Discovering that I am not a Gemini would shake the foundations of my self-image and I don't even believe in the whole notion. I googled "vedic astrology" and concluded it is way too complicated for my quick analysis. So I'm going back to my simpler, more comforting, world-view. La la la ....

welcome sister taurus! you're in good company (me and your mom for starters). unless vedic astrology changes our sign as well, but i don't think it does.
i'm enjoying your deepening journey. you are growing leaps and bounds. it seems to make all the difference to get away from the habits of home and immerse yourself in the practice, so you can see where the opportunities are.
keep diving!
peace and grace to you...
