To Ingo.

In Blackwater Woods

Look, the trees
are turning
their own bodies
into pillars

of light,
are giving off the rich
fragrance of cinnamon
and fulfillment,

the long tapers
of cattails
are bursting and floating away over
the blue shoulders

of the ponds,
and every pond,
no matter what its
name is, is

nameless now.
Every year
everything
I have ever learned

in my lifetime
leads back to this: the fires
and the black river of loss
whose other side

is salvation,
whose meaning
none of us will ever know.
To live in this world

you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

Wearing my sticky mat.

Wearing your stickymat might sound weird but it's accually superquite =)

I got these exclusive yoga paws from Yoga Paws (who else?)!!
For a nearly a month I've been using the feet when I teach, and I love it. I can move around the room and demo standing poses wherever without slipping. It's awesome! '

First time I tried out the whole kit were at a yogalesson with my anusarateacher Anja Bergh and the resloults were over expectations.
Both hands and feet have a good grip and you can be adjusted in poses like downward facing dog with out slipping. Sometimes it feels like the grip is to good. Like when I want to adjust my stans in a standing pose and my feet feels like they are glued to the floor. There is no way to easily slide the feet narrower or further apart and with that I have to engage my muscles to lift the feet and acually take a litte step instead. Doing that demands engagement, that forces me to adjust myself more mindfully instead of flickering. It's hard and I don't want to do it twice =)

The Yoga Paws is one of the best sticky mat that I ever had. That they're small and hardly take any space in your handbag is of course a bonus!

Want to have your very own set of paws? If you're like me and often have cold hands and feet – don't hesitate – they will keep you warm as well!

From the kitchen.

Recently I got myself a personal trainer. It's awesome, I can really recomend it. First step on the journey to become this new healthy, alert and strong version of myself is making some food changes!
Here are two recipes from my new protein-enhanced lifestyle:

Tunasalad:
3 cans of tuna

Chop the avocados, dice the cheese and blend it all.

1 can of coconut milk
peanutbutter
soy pieces (or something else)

sundried tomatoes
cashewnuts
ginger
Amount of the ingredients after taste
Add more wedgies if you like =)

The no phone experience.

Last weekend in january I was working at Oslo yogafestival demoing yogawings. It was totally fab!
Less fab were that I forgot to bring my cellphone charger with me back home...

Tuesday morning I woke up from the alarm, on the phone, that I use, on the phone.
I had a text message conversation with my dear friend and brilliant fellow yogini Anja (http://www.yogabuddhi.se/), my mom called and that was it. The battery went stonecold, no turning back, super-dead.
I facebooked the fact that people was unable to reach me on my mobile phone and I went to Anjas for morningpractice.

A few hours in my current phonefree life I notice that I think about my phone a whole lot. And I'm costantly reaching in my pocket to pick it out, just to look at the screen... check what time it is, though I don't have to know... checking if I got any texts, though I'm not expecting any...

Tuesday afternoon I had a meeting with a colleuge down town. This meeting is desided a week ago or something like that. I can't call or text to check that we're still on. I add a book that I'm currently reading to all the stuff that I carry around – beliving that I need it - so that if she doesn't show up I still have something to occupy myself with.
But she's there when I arrive. And reflecting on it, it felt nice not to check up if the meeting were still on. To trust (even if I had a backup plan) and let go of the super control (even if it wasn't a choice) felt really good.

I can not constantly check what time it is and even if I'm talking and thinking about the fact that I'm having this no phone experience in a kind of disturbing amount – it's a tiny bit liberating =)


Wednesday I woke up from the alarm on my cellphone! Appently it works even if the phone is out of batteries.
As the day went along I were thinking about and missing my phone less and less.

What do we really need the phone for?
Emergensy calls.
Keeping in touch with friends and family.
Work.
But do we need to be able to answer 24/7?

I've been having my the same number since -93 (yes I'm old) and I remeber the first mobilephones in the 80ies. They had their own suitcase. They were huge and heavy! Before that there was ”just” the landlines and if you were walking the dog or on the bus you couldn't take a call at the same time. And still people survived.


Thursday I got an email saying that my charger will come home to Sweden by sportscar, airplain or mail. So sometime in next week I'll be back on my phone-addiction train. But right now I enjoy standing on the platform.


Don't call me. I'll call you =)
