This is the post the inspired this website. :)
I am alive AF.
I did it. I twisted, folded, mended, balanced, breathed, and cried my way thru my first yoga class since July. Above everything I have endured, missing yoga has been one of the more difficult challenges. I’ve felt both betrayed and disconnected from my body. But it is the same body that fought so hard and never gave up. Returning to yoga stirred tremendous emotions — sadness, anger, gratitude. A room of practicing yogis is potent, powerful, healing energy.
This week’s full moon arrived in Scorpio season, the sign of death and rebirth. The full moon was in fertile Earth sign Taurus and brought emotions, and changes so we can create something new out of the endings that have taken place.
I remember returning to consciousness in ICU, totally unaware, of my surgeries or my close encounter with the other side. I tried to sit up and I couldn't even lift the sand-bag-dead weight of my torso.
I have rehabilitated myself back from zero.
I am alive AF.
