Hi Jed,
I've had a yoga practice (just the sweaty, bendy, asana practice) for the last 6 years or so, and have taught it to others for the last two. I think it's helped me get a bit closer to H/A (cause/effect awareness, releasing of fears, etc). I've had students who have grown a lot from this practice, and I feel like I have a gift for teaching it in a way that gently guides others towards H/A as well. I read the trilogy early last year, and have been off-and-on about SA until recently when (after reading Theory) it clicked with me and I started writing in most of my free time.
Continuing this path, I find that I'm less interested in interacting with folks who are "behind" me (or those who are nowhere close to H/A). Like, it makes me physically ill sometimes. I've politely extinguished friendships/acquaintances that no longer serve me, but I still feel compelled to teach. The thing is, I am finding more and more that "yoga" (in the western countries where I've taught) attracts a certain breed of Adult Child that I just can't stand to be around lately. I can't nail down the belief/fear/attachment that is bringing up this emotion. It doesn't feel like a superiority complex, but I'm open to that possibility. Wondering, should I wash dishes for a while and give up this yoga teacher bit?
Thanks for any advice,
Aby
