propioception tutor daily

my propioception during practice has been higher, making me aware of what the muscles are doing during practice. the shadow cast by my body on the mat looked interesting this morning. i continued with the inversions asanas of VK today. i said yesterday that the inversions did not look difficult. wrong. the first ones aren't, but when you lower to viparita dandasana from shoulder stand, it summons a lot of fear. i placed a chair in front of the mat to crash into. i didn't get that far. the pose where you ring around the mat clockwise while inverted?  next.

regarding haircuts, i was told by my tutor last year to not say "i want long hair" because that is what girls say. I battled with stylists for two years, avoiding those words. my litany of instructions included, "don't cut too much; cut a little; do it like in this picture." yesterday i was prepared to say, "don't give me a crew cut."  that is close to what i always get. yesterday i did not care if the stylist thought i was being girlish and said, "i prefer long hair". i showed her the chinese characters for long hair. "cut only a little?" she asked? "yes, i don't want it so short." i have a normal haircut today. i'll cheer along with the arhat.

on another subject - i normally get about 100 readers daily. when i post my pictures of travels, the readership increases to about 150 readers daily. when i wrote about when to eat in relationship to yoga practice, the hits went to over 240. the topic must resonate with many.
