Some words

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

 

I've been practicing ashtanga for about two months. This morning at

practice when we were iniciating the sirsasana (the head posture) the

teacher told us not to let our concious led us into a "i cannot make

it" state, that we have the power to control our mind and, even not

completing the asana, to get as close as the final posture as we can,

breathing, and then when we feel it´s the right moment we will do it

(and that could be the moment). I trully believe that, but at that

exact time when I was upside down, trying to start to transfer my

body weight to my arms and head I felt an ennormous felling of fear,

and I could not concentrate or couldn't even try to do it. I really

don't know if I was afraid of did not have enough strength or if I

would fall or fail. I don't know... But I felt bad about it. I was

wandering if any of you had a similar experience and wanted to share

with me, so I can fell better. It's very important to emphasize that

it had never happened before, only today when I was preparing to try

to transfer the weight to the arms and head.

Any words of comfort?

 

Thanks,
