“collect all parts of yourself”

as you know this momma’s been suffering a wee bit. nothin’ catastrophic but no one orders post-partum depression off the menu (and for good reason).

the awesome news is that my self prescribed treatment plan includes yoga immersion and yoga works. so, yay.

the double yay is that whilst recently getting my ass handed to me in power yoga class, the teacher also gave me a serious pep talk. well, not just to me… i promise i’m not gonna be all nutty and claim that she knew what i was looking for but, common now, obviously the universe heard my call for help:

“when you feel caged in, uncomfortable and on the edge, don’t do anything. be still, just be there in the discomfort, and make peace with what is. then, when you’re gathered, let the process find you” – jodie, yyoga, 07/03/2013.

i think it’s safe to say that no further explanation is required.

“mom, do you remember all of the other days? when you were someone else?”
