Short and peaceful post today. ;)
I decided to write about it to see if someone else have ever experienced something like that, or just to share this quite an amazing experience (at least for me).
No, i didn't put my leg behind my head (not for next 15 years if I'm lucky, so come back then if you waiting for it) do a scorpion handstand (not in this lifetime, I would have to reincarnate first) , not even any "elementary" thingy.
Couple of days ago, i experienced something weird during the practice. (I probably overuse the world weird but I like to use it when I don't know what I'm taking about or I don't know any other better world).
I'm pretty nervous person and it's difficult for me to ease the mind chatter during practice, at least most of times.
So I was just standing waiting "in line " for teacher to do the back drops, my hands crossed over my chest. It was fully packed Saturday class, with about 2 cm in between each mat, so the wait was long but i didnt mind. White i should probably pull my focus inward I started observing other people practicing. It was actually really touching to see so many people practice at the same time, with dedication. At that moment I felt a wave of pure peace hitting me so hard that I actually felt it was physical. And the focus turned inwards naturally. I have never experience something like that before, and I almost felt like crying there. It was like a glimpse of what my life could be. It could be peace. It was like a click of some sort of calm understanding. Something became so calm, and obvious and it enter my focus and all the fear went out of focus. I was like, what was that? I was left is blank and calm and easy. It felt so real and tangible! Overflow of calm and balanced energy.
And I wasn't even doing any asana, I was just standing there and breathing.
So one could ask, "so you were so peaceful how did the back bends go? "
I would say "Yeah, I was so peaceful that I wasn't afraid at all, so I just fell on my head. (And nothing happened). "
Just kidding, my inner comic never sleeps :)
Anyhow, coming back to serious, wanted to share this experience with you guys. A little freaky but my own :)
Enjoy your practice :)
