In fact I may just have to build in some time today for it. I actually love savasana.. my brain is usually running a mile a minute, but it's quick to take a breather.

I know alot of people who wouldn't agree with me - but I started swing dancing about five years ago and discovered very quickly that despite the aggrivations that come with learning, going out after a difficult day at work was one of the healthiest things I could do mentally. <br><br>It was meditation in motion and similar to yoga it allows your mind and body to get back in touch with one another and just release. With dancing you also have the issues of drama that come with every social situation- but like savasana you can choose to let your mind get all worked up about who is watching you dance or whether or not your steps are right, or you can just go with it and be in the moment and make that moment blissful. <br><br>I guess it's not surprising at all that a song using dancing as a metaphor for the same thing would inspire you during yoga. So, just spent some more time thinking about this….

I want to get to a point where I can dance through savasana! I use to have good weeks followed by a good practice followed by ...... bawling through savasansa. <br><br>Love the quote about getting what you project. Reminds me a lot of a book club meeting where we were discussing the concept of happiness and the others couldn't wrap their heads around the idea of waking up and choosing to be happy. Beautiful post - thanks so much for sharing! Wow! I want to get to a point where I can dance through savasana!

You get what you project, so project what you want to receive.”It's so easy sometimes to get caught up in what's going on in our head and forget what we need and what we want. I'm going to include this in my new single girl mantra so thank you. And I'm glad you've figured out what works for you! It's got to feel good to be able to self-diagnosis and prescribe and fix!
