Malsag-<br><br>You're right! I should be careful

of what I wish for. Just fell down the stairs the

other night and now my left shoulder is really hurting.

<br><br>I've had a really frustrating yoga life. I started

Ashtanga in 95 and have yet to be consistent. I get to a

point, love the results on my mind, and then give up and

let it slip away. I have to begin the whole cycle

over again....struggle with resistances to the

practice, mourn the loss of my well-being (cause it slips

away and you don't know how badly until you begin the

practice again)and build my practice back up to an ease

and confident level. <br><br>I had hoped to do that

cycle for the last time this summer when I went to

France for six weeks. I was determined to continue when

I returned but I was alone and the other demands on

my life (earning a living) took over.<br><br>I was

holding onto my injuries as a way to overcome my

resistances to the practice and get back into the mind/body

state that I had after the summer. I was using my

injuries as the impetus to recommit. <br><br>Knowing my

cycles I think I'm convinced that I need a teacher and

cannot go cold turkey yet.<br><br>Yeshe
