I felt this today in yoga. I have been reading the Wild Feminine, about feeling where your pelvic bowl is and releasing tension in the pelvic area. I have started to feel where my core feminine energy is living. In yoga today I felt unselfconscious for the first time (in a small class with 4 friends). I felt my lithe body writhing, circling, opening and closing, moving on all fours or standing, in tight stretchy leggings and t-shirt, and I didn't care what I looked like. I didn't care what anybody might see looking. I luxuriated in the feline movements of the poses, and that is new for me. I think the thing about yoga is that you have to breathe to really flow with it. Breathing and focusing inside are such freeing, home-comfort feelings for me (after years of practise mind you). I don't think so much anymore, I just let my self be drawn....there. the first time I did dance classes in high school, and then joined a theatre group that did a mime presentation of Eskimo legends, I also was in leotards for a week or two, and loved it! But the difference was I was 18 years old and 105 pounds. I could do handstands and headstands and shoulderstands! Today our instructor said, imagine your optimal health, imagine you are 20 again, and that's where it brought me, back to the weeks of leotard and stretching and movement. Hmmmmm wonderful post.
