Loved the whole story of you were so unconscious about the body and how finally yoga stepped in and helped you not only with the body issues and you are a lot healtheri now but also with the anger issues.

What really helped where two things: one the chinese doctor in NYC who told me I had nothing, that a great inmune system will beat any bacteria, he then restored my internal organs to help. And two, the primary series of ashtanga yoga. I have in my blog on the MUST READS a post called anatomy of a practice recovery after lyme disease, and it goes over how I did it, starting with only 20 minutes. Three months later I am in Mysore India, practicing at new levels of intensity, healed.... I am eternally grateful of course! Thanks for asking Thu, 2 Feb 2012 04:28:39 +0000 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/01/21-things-that-will-help-you-if-over-40-and-getting-started-with-ashtanga-yoga/#IDComment281447158 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/01/21-things-that-will-help-you-if-over-40-and-getting-started-with-ashtanga-yoga/#IDComment280759458 Thanks Vanita, and that is a VERY good point you make... very true, let us just focus on now :-) Wed, 1 Feb 2012 11:49:07 +0000 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/01/21-things-that-will-help-you-if-over-40-and-getting-started-with-ashtanga-yoga/#IDComment280759458 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/01/21-things-that-will-help-you-if-over-40-and-getting-started-with-ashtanga-yoga/#IDComment279167904 Thanks Ms Grammar.

I hope that when the year and a half is over you get to move to a city with a teacher, I really do :-) perhaps we will meet in India at some point, would like to hear more about your story and how you are managing...

I stopped eating at 4 PM, about 7 hours before take off, but I would have started earlier if I could, the trick is to get the body to the point where it is really hungry :-) so it thinks it might be starving. Enjoy your trip! you going for yoga?

It is taugh having our thoughts and deep beliefs refuted... There is a book on that which you mention, about the real Jesus that I started readig recently, I found out that he had not actually said "forgive them lord for the know not what they are doing" while at the cross... Now, I could be wrong, it may have been another one, I just arrived in India and I am totally jetlagged... BUT The point is, I remember how disappointing it was... Good to read from you Tue, 10 Jan 2012 08:22:27 +0000 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/01/shocking-the-gita-is-not-what-we-thought-it-was/#IDComment260225758 http://www.elephantjournal.com/2012/01/shocking-the-gita-is-not-what-we-thought-it-was/#IDComment257828125 No idea Molly... I have no clue how it works when it comes to pricing, the book was printed a long time ago, might that have something to do? anyway, there are some used copies more affordable, I got one of those...

I think the Gita from this perspective also entices us to work for thevgood of all, to act, and as you say, to ultimately reach the state of yoga. Appreciatebyour comment.
