Comment on The Practice of Forgiveness by Jane Bro wn

Yes Pauline so well said.! Many of us, especially me, struggle with guilt and ask “am I good enough” to stick
To our 40 day program or something that closely resembles it. But residue of the 40 days is there, sometimes forgotten but always present. I am grateful for all that “stuck with me,” and all I carry forth into
The days to come.

Comment on The Practice of Slowing Down by Jane Brown

Well said Dave!! You know many people ask me why am I so excited about this “Baptiste stuff?”
Especially since I was already a yoga teacher (mom was a yoga teacher) and have tried so many different types of yoga over my 41 years of practice. When I or others first hear about the practice it may seem all about “the power and strength” on a physical level. But it is not till I looked deeper, within myself thru the meditation and inquiry did I discover the miracles of this practice. It is extremely transformative to focus so much attention on “stilling the mind,” the way Baron does.
Also I think it’s one thing to “hear” others speak about large changes or transformations, it’s another to
believe it and then it’s again another thing to actually “Be something.” I personally believe that you
can only go from the believing stage to the “being” stage when you have truly experienced something in
your own skin.

Comment on Get into the Being of Your Practice by Jane Brown

Well said Lisa! What a great way to see “doing” and “being.” These 40 days have really thaught me to hone
in on all of the above steps. I used to do the pose, as you say, from the way “I thought I should instead of practicing from seeing where I was”. After taking things step by step and having faith in the process
by body opened up to more possibilities then I have EVER seen!(practicing 41 yrs).

Also when I practice a great deal of time alone and teach I notice I get into “bad patterns” of alignment or limited thinking(I can never do that inversion). I used to “think” my alignment was fine and I are stacking our bones correctly ect and then something would show up in my body like a swollen wrist or a sore shoulder.
It has been a blessing these 40 days to be exposed to so many great teachers like you.

I loved your post Don, especially the part about letting go without judgment and re-focusing as often as necessary!
