I am on my knees

I am on my knees.
Literally,
Physically,
Emotionally.

As I discover the mysteries of injuries, I confess having been caught off guard by this calling. I wonder, as I write those lines in stillness not to feel too much pain, why my body seemed to have chosen to focus my attention on my left knee. We could well think that this is just bad luck and that I am just so bad at skiing (which could easily just be the truth!) or, I could try to « own » this destabilizing injury. Did my body choose it? What’s the symbolic nature of a knee, why the left side and not the right?


I like to believe that our bodies tend to scream at us if/when we do not listen. Could I be told to stop, to be asked to put a break on a busy pace of life? Am I invited to take more time to contemplate & have greater space for my own self work? And why the Left side? According to the sacred scriptures, the left side represents the feminine part in each of us. Could this injury then be a signal to stop & nourish parts of the (my)Self not properly taken care of?

Yes, I could well think that my ski accident is « just » an accident....or, I could well think that there is a deeper meaning... I get to choose. We all get to chose our version of our stories...


Of course, in our injury stories, there is always a space where it just feels so unfair (and how will I continue my yoga practice, my breathe of Life?! I will not survive, my own blablabla story), but, I then notice that when I yield more into this injury, I start entering into a space of Trust where I feel better, in trust that there is a higher meaning unfolding (or maybe not?!) into all our injuries.

I hesitated cancelling my yoga teaching this week and my day-work, be on “sick leave”, but I decided not to as it appears that the yoga invitation this week (and probably the next few ones) will be about « Walking slowly, a reminder to breathe, a moment to be still, and just like that, something in me settles, softens, makes space for imperfection » (Danna Faulds). I already feel better just reading and feeling those words.

So where could we meet? When? At @alive_geneva(Tuesday 18:00 & 19:15) and at @yogaflamestudio (Wednesday 19:45). I would love to see you to feel your support, I confess, humbly. 💛✨💛
