Prasarita Padottanasana C--photo credit ashtangayoga.info
I remember when my yoga teacher started to “push” me into a deeper expression of a yoga pose, most specifically Prasarita Padottanasana C. See above. I thought, “he’s braking me. and he’s going to have to take me to the hospital because I KNOW if I let him, he will push me so hard, he will brake me.” And I let him. And he didn’t brake me. He stretched me.
Well, that’s kinda how I feel these days. Like God is trying to brake me. And I have a choice to resist or to allow the Divine to stretch me.
Deconstruct & Construct; it is your nature. Or DEMOLITION. 
I keep remembering the Sacred Chalice Principle, Deconstruct & Construct; it is your nature. And although I talk about the discomfort in this Truth, I am humbled by how it actually feels. So, I feel into the discomfort and anchor to the foundation of my Soul.
I’ve been hearing many say they can’t wait until 2011 is over, and are excited for the opportunity to welcome a new year. Yet, the calendar is but another illusion we create, so really, we have an opportunity to create a new beginning right now. Right now. No need to wait a month. Right now, we can allow ourselves to be stretched and feel into the amazing resilience of the body and the soul, and sit in the quiet of having been “pushed” into growth. I put the word push in quotes, because we have choice about it, if we are conscious. We are not “pushed”, we ALLOW the deconstruct.
Ahh, yes, it all reminds me of labor, really. Feeling into the miracle of the human body and how it knows to stretch that uterus and the mechanical perfection of birth. If we can face our fears and allow birth to occur, no interventions necessary, and everyone gets to feel the relief of accomplishment.
If you feel you are being broken. Remember you have choice to resist or allow. And as my wise friend said, “Broken to be Opened”.
Allow yourself to be opened as effortlessly as a lotus opens
