The story I was telling myself about what happened wasn’t what happened. That was over. That was a phone call and it had ended hours ago. Now I was making up stories

Oil
I asked the therapist at the end: If you could give one piece of advice to anyone (including me), based on your expertise as an Ayurvedic massage therapist, what would it be?
The Yoga of Anxiety
My mind jumps ahead, worrying about what might happen if it doesn't clear up soon. Will my vision stay blurry forever? Will I ever see life clearly again? Anxiety is probably the least yogic emotion of all.
Being Vulnerable Is Showing Up
I must learn that I can’t hide when I’m sick and only show up when I’m not. That’s not being authentic. That’s not being fully present.
A Parallel Reality Experience At The Airport
G helped a woman on our flight hoist her luggage into the overhead bin. Then, on the way out, that same woman trippped and fell flat on her face on the jetway at the cabin door.
