Earlier this summer, my friend Phil asked me if I wanted to get married. When I asked him why, he said he just wondered because I seem so content...meaning content with my life.
My "sister" Beau- an astrology expert- said the other day that he would not have guessed I was a Cancer (other than the fact that I was very nurturing) because I seem emotionally stable unlike many Cancers he knows.
For some reason, those two thoughts popped into my head as I was practicing yoga today. And it happened right after I had this strange experience. The only thing I could equate it to is what I'd imagine a religious experience to be. I literally felt a shift inside my body. I felt something lift away, and I was filled with total bliss. It was amazing. It almost felt like I was high on ecstasy, but it wasn't cloudy & dreamy. It really was ineffible.
I've felt total relaxation on many occasions at the end of yoga when we lie there on the floor doing the savasana (the death pose). And on many occasions I've thought that I could just die right there in peace without any fear or regret. But never have I experienced this total harmony where I felt one with deity. It was weird, but so awesome.
The fact that the experience was followed by those two thoughts made me realize it must be yoga that's giving off that vibe to the people I meet, if that's the way they see me. And I do feel totally content tonight, especially having come home to a mowed lawn & a lovely note from one of my favorite friends in SLC, the HasenPfeffer. (If you haven't heard, I hate yard work, especially mowing, right there next to weeding.)
All the love I sent out to the universe during yoga came right back at me with an angel who mowed my lawn just because I asked... Yoga rocks!

Lady! I've been doing some yoga in the mornings (from a book - awesome - not) and I had a similar experience two days ago. Although it was on a much smaller scale for me, I found myself relating to a lot of what you described.
Or maybe I was just light headed.
Either way, I miss you.
Ha ha...could've been the light headed effect of a morning yoga,(always happens when I work out in the morning) but doubt it. Gonna try to get your girl-crushes to do yoga with me. Miss you bunch!
