Shavasana or “Resting pose”
February 6th, 2008 at 11:28 pm (Uncategorized, Yoga)
I just spent the past two days working on a “family project” which has left me exhausted. There has not been much time for me or my kids or my hubby. So it was interesting to see in my latest Yoga Journal magazine an article about the very thing I was doing, helping others and feeling exhausted.
The question posed was, “How can I give and still take care of myself?” The answer was: “You can contribute to your own and others’ happiness by choosing a way to give that feeds you. Spend quiet moments reflecting on what you might offer; identify your strengths, talents, and abilities. Then find a venue where they can be put to good use.”
The article ends by saying, “Whatever you choose, practice Savasana every day to restore your energy.” Good advice, indeed! I think this advice could be useful to me in my HS journey as well.
