I believe in omens ;)
Apparently, I haven't done a silly Blogthings quiz in a while.:) So here's one stolen from meathiel:
Driven?... Moi?... HAHAHA. Nope. Not unless I am a passenger in someone else's car.:D
But I do think this result is a sign. "Reading" probably suits me better - but it so happens that I've been doing some research on Kundalini yoga, and it sounds like precisely the kind of holistic body/mind exercise I could greatly benefit from. The theory of it makes absolutely perfect sense to me. The practice requires mostly patience and quiet introspection - which is what I'm made of. Plus, there are free lessons available online, and apparently a lot of people are doing it entirely by themselves, without the need to join a group/find a teacher etc. It's a solitary practice, by definition. There's a mailing list on Yahoo!Groups that I could join for tips/advice - but I think I'm going to just "try it at home" first and see if I get anywhere (I've never actually attempted to meditate in the traditional sense, and I suspect that "emptying my mind" of all the rushing thoughts might prove quite the challenge; but I instinctively know that this is precisely what I need, because it's the "static" in my brain that's driving me nuts, as well as the constantly rushing world around me - I need to be able to distance myself from it and "recharge" without moving to a remote cave somewhere high in the mountains... lol).
Well... I don't really want to write much about it until I've had a chance to experience some results (which, at this point, is not a given). But stay tuned if you like.:)
In other news, there was a vicious hailstorm tonight. For about 10-15 minutes, the noise was deafening, and I was really afraid my window panes might break. But at least I wasn't caught outside in it, which would have been scary (and painful).
I am behind on comments to other people's posts, and I had hoped to catch up tonight - but then I couldn't resist taking the quiz, which then compelled me to write this entry... and now it's getting late.:/ Same old story. I only feel inspired to post when I really shouldn't - but if I do wait until I "have the time", the inspiration is usually gone... *sigh*
meathiel:You Are Yoga |
 You seek balance in your life, and you really like taking the time to unplug. But you're not the type of person who could simply unplug by taking a nap. You're too driven for that. You aim to improve yourself in as many ways as you can. You want to be a better person. Yoga is perfect for you because it makes you healthier, calmer, and more compassionate. |
