On honouring moon days

-

Today is moon day. What can we do on a new or full moon day when we’re not supposed to do our practice? 

    

Well, have a rest, for example. Or do some pranayama or at least breath awareness, a few focusing exercises, maybe start reading or writing something new (I recently started “The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna” and David Keil's “Functional Anatomy of Yoga” and never find the time to read  more than a handful of pages in a row)…


...or perhaps try to improve or polish up some transitions or specific postures instead 😊 😊 if we’re like those smokers who have no intention to stop.

I am not disclosing what I am going to do in a few minutes, but just for you to guess... 🤣🤣🤣🤸‍♂️💥💯

Now, the big question. Do we have to honour moon days? Well, we don’t have to, but maybe we should. It is said that in those days the potential for injuries is greater; besides, rest days are important for body-mind regeneration - if we already practice 5-6 days a week, those extra days of rest are always welcome.

So, have a happy moon day!

All this may seem overly harsh and cynical. But, in reality trust is something that springs from us, it is our projection, like a transfer process. Because, trust is basically expectations hoping to be fulfilled - nothing less, nothing more. And when expectations are not satisfied our ego aches and swears. So, trust originally and primarily depends on our disposition more than arising from other people's facts and dee...
