I understand your response, and you'll have to forgive me but I don't quite agree. In the case of yoga, yes moving oneself into a position of pain brings about nothing but physical harm and anguish. However, in ones journey of mental yoga, to move into pain is to feel the sweet sensation of relief. When pain is the treatment, hardship is the dose, one must suffer the spoonful without said sugar to fully reap the benefits. I feel that by waiting, further putting off these hard discussions, we are prolonging the period of sickness. I'm tired of feeling ill both physically and mentally, I truly am, and I feel that my only path up the mountain is the one that I can climb best, not necessarily that which is already preordained, known, and traveled. Perhaps it is the roughest route, the one with the most bumps and sharp ledges, but it is mine, my trip through misery to finally achieve the view of a lifetime: me without fear, without anxiety, and without pain. If there is a chance of relief in this, must I not take it?
