Guest guest Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Namaste Maggie Great to hear Im not the only one and at the same time not so great to hear someone else has this too x) I don't have much problems with public speaking type of situations, but sometimes i get that shaking when with certain girls so i know exactly what you are talking about. It has been getting worse after shaktipat. Fears surfacing i guess. The worst thing is that sometimes i get this even when my mind is fairly calm. I have this wonderful body but it does it's own thing despite of me. This issue must go back to the fear of being judged, as if others opinions would really make a difference. And that fear must go back to basic trust issues (I know i have some ...or allot actually What has helped me is the " I am safe and secure in this world " -mantra that Elektra introduced. I do " I am safe and secure " on the exhale and " in this world " on the inhale. Sometimes that actually helps a lot. But other than that i'm still searching myself, so any advice is greatly appreciated here too.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 Maggie: I find I m much better at being in the lead when not with peers. I can talk to anyone or group as long as I know I am the leader. However when I am facing my peers I freeze - afraid of that judgment. I am setting up basketry classes where I am the one in charge that will be fine - my theory has always been that as long as I am one step ahead of the students I am considered the teacher. Many of my former students have gone onto form businesses, teach on their own, display their work in galleries and form a fiber coop. I can relate to your being uncomfortable - one suggestion that I find to work at times is to admit to the group that you are nervous - by letting go of the feeling and putting it out in the universe it may just flit away. And if you look at each and every one of them and see them in their underwear - well a giggle will surely help you. You have been teaching as well as many of them probably have also you all have different skills and your skill set is unique to you. Put that Maggie twist in the poses - that little bit of you and think of underwear ... e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday, November 4, 2009, 10:41 AM Hi! I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this phenomena!? I am in the middle of yoga teacher training right now. I've even given a few of my own classes prior with co-workers that have gone swimmingly. However, something new popped up during last night's class where I was to perform the easiest of poses (for the first time in this class) Mountain pose to a partner in front of the rest of the group who sit and watch. Mind you this issue never popped up during my yoga teaching with those that I've worked with so far. So I can only guess that it's due to all teacher eyes on me without them participating as well. As I started to go through the mountain pose last night my body started to shake almost uncontrollably. You know that fear you feel if you almost get in a car accident and your body just shakes. It felt like that. But I couldn't find any conscious reason for it. So for it to occur and me not to be able to control it was upsetting to me. Hence why I then rushed right through the pose. I started to notice it almost go into my voice. This is all new to me. I couldn't believe how intense it got so fast! Has anyone experienced this before with you? In times past if I have all eyes on me my face may get red (even if I'm not embarrassed! ). So again a hint to what occurred last night. Maybe a past life regression or hypnotist can help! I want to make it through this year-long training and the asana's without having to stop due to uncontrollable shaking. lol! (That would be funny though. Okay maybe not at the time.) I've given small classes for years so maybe this is why they've always remained small?? Any advice is greatly appreciated! !!
