Anxiety has me bottled up inside, out of sorts and itching for an outlet
I disrobe for another sphere, bare feet firmly planted, toes wide
I straighten my stance as I salute the universe
sun pose, breathe
downward dog, breathe
upward dog, breathe
proud warrior, breathe
mind and body one, all air
I breathe, stretch, and bend, contorting limbs formidably
I breathe a calmer breath and I do it all over again
with a trickle of sweat, I cannot catch
rolling supremely down my brow
dark spots splotch purple mat
limbs quiver and quake
breathe . . . breathe
Asana relieved
Joyous mind again
I thank the universe, bow my head, and whisper
Namaste . . .

That trapped feeling is very real… I loved how you made this feel.
Aww! Breathing is so important. We as people, don’t do it correctly, and not enough when we’re anxious. Thanks Simon 🙂
I’ve heard this before… It seems strange to need to teach breathing. Always a pleasure 😊
Hahaha! Does sound strange given we breathe automatically every day. I won’t bore you with details of the correct way to do so. 😊
Who says it’s boring? 😝
😀 okay long winded.
Hehe… No pun intended eh?
Nah!!!
😝
I like the video too – I must pick you brains on how to do that.
Thank you! Any time Simon. I’ve become a fan of iMovie for book trailers. I was using PowerPoint which required too much work. But if you own an iPad, iMAC, or iPhone, you can download iMovie. Very easy to use.
Lol… That’s ironic. I have nothing Apple lol
Darn! Well there are other great softwares for video making and then there’s the good old windows media movie maker and PowerPoint.
Ill look into them… Thanks for the pointers 😊
Any time!!
