You must feel it to heal it
This is a lesson learned through yogic practice
We try to ignore, suppress, forget pain and trauma
We’re afraid of it rising back up the surface to hurt us again
But the body stores the energy of these emotions
Especially deep in the connective tissues
So, in the long posture holds of yin yoga
As this fibrous web releases
So does the energy
In the posture
You remember things you thought you’d forgotten
And face the things you wish you had
But you realize it never hurts as much the second time
As the pain and trauma releases
You get lighter and freer
You must feel it to heal it
And there’s no need to be afraid

Stick your tongue out

Unfortunately, in the present age, the head of government does not follow the instructions given by saintly persons; therefore neither the citizens nor the men of government are very happy. Their duration of life is shortened, and almost everyone is wretched and bereft of bodily strength and spiritual power.
