an exercise to release bad feelings

My yoga book suggests finding the feeling in your body, naming it, cupping it in your hands and releasing it above your head to an imaginary fire - then noticing the sweet space left behind. It does work.

Today I wanted to stuff food to deal with feelings... especially toward the end of the day. That's a pattern. Once the amount gets "over" healthy - then it doesn't seem to want to continue. I'm sure there's a lesson here.

However I also had a couple hours walking (10-11 k) and 1.5 hours yoga today... plus some time with the meditation tapes... so... we'll see how that works out.

For now... enough. Namaste world; Namaste me.
