My Yoga Journal 11.2.06

Two weeks ago during our pre-exercise sharing circle, my yoga teacher Kat was talking about some things going on in her life. It brought up some stuff for me that I'm still trying to wrap my brain around.

The light bulb that went off for me was Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and how my life fits within it. I can see that I've been trying to improve the happiness in my life by concentrating on the third level, yet the basic first and second levels haven't fully been resolved for me.

I'm hoping to go on a retreat to the Kripalu Yoga center soon and perhaps I'll spend some time sitting with this in a more meditative environment and explore it more fully. If nothing else, this certainly has raised my self awareness.
