Adventures of a Shivanaut

I’ve been wondering recently whether doing Shiva Nata is part of what has left me so tired this Winter. When I went back to it after a break I started to get tired again and this really frightened me because I enjoy it so much that I don’t want to find that I’m ‘incompatible’ or anything strange like that!

What I realised today was that maybe the reason the DVD has years of material is because it takes time to really let it sink in. I can master the patterns and the mathematics and the movement, but to go from learnt movement to really incorporating it and letting it become a mindful practice may take more time.

Not sure what this means right now, but was thinking about this in bed this morning, as I thought about dancing (contemporary) mindfully rather than going into the trance-like performance state I usually disappear into.
