Maybe once your mind-body are accustomed to that being a safe part of the routine, you can choose to close your eyes briefly to see how it feels. Or not. It sounds like you are already experiencing yoga class as a safe centering empowering space, so preserving and expanding that feeling might be more important than whether or not you actually close your eyes.


Thank you! I️ can do that. [emoji4]

It just makes me angry!

It makes me angry to feel that I️ am, again, having to fight to get past something that other people feel no threat or fear in.

Is that wrong? Is it wrong to be angry because I️ feel odd and dysfunctional?

Those may not be the right words.

On top of that, there is the fear that the one person I️ do feel safe enough to close my eyes with, will one day not be there.

That’s got attachment written all over it.

Is that wrong for now?

More dysfunction.

It gives me courage to read the posts that were shared here.
