Several weeks ago I spent a weekend in Houston taking workshops from Ana Forrest. In one of her workshops (I believe it was Warriors Heart) she put us in a standing pose where our chest could open up and our heads rested back cradled in our hands. The pose felt like I needed it. Then she said "Your head a nd your heart do not have to be at war. They can exist together in peace." My lip started to quiver and tears rolled down my cheek. Thankfully I was sweating so much no one could tell I was crying. I was curious why it caused such an emotional reaction. How do you stop the war? Why tell us that and not tell us how to do it? Well the last few weeks I have had plenty of opportunity for my own exploration of that topic. I recognize when a battle is brewing a little better than I did. I realized the battle occurred via my reactions. Now I practice taking deep breaths and often end up in prayer. This gives me time to simply not react and see what actions I need to take or avoid. My head and heart do not agree a lot of the time but the fights have cut way down.
