Letting go of fear!
I have a student named Ann who is an inspiration to me. She always gives the asanas her all. But most importantly, she doesn't let fear interfere with her practice. In this video clip you can see how Annie just keeps trying to get into handstand, and she does it!! I have not been able to do handstand in the middle of the room because of my fear. I will try to let this little clip continue to inspire me.
One of my favorite yoga teachers, Arline Jernigan, teaches handstand and has told the class that you just don't think about falling over. She says, "trust your strength.." I think that is cool. I want to do this. I want to be able to trust my strength.
How does this relate to my walk with my heavenly Father? I am finding out that fear really does block the spirit. My prayer for today is to trust in God's strength to carry me through anything that comes my way!
