Yoga for Recovery 9.26.09

I felt it super hard to ground tonight, and more in my head that usual. I didn't have my pre-class time to sit still for a few moments, and I think that's part of it. After class,  I had the most bizarre craving to dive into a pint of chocolate ice cream. But I didn't. I had five bites, lit a lavendar candle, washed my face, slathered my body with organic geranium-rose infused oil, and brewed a cup of licorace tea. After I write this blog I am going to tuck into bed with my dog and a new book a friend gave me about mudras. This is the best landing therapy I can think of at the moment.
