So it can have some interesting effects, afterwards, right?
Am I right in thinking it can create space to "process" something, say for instance fatigue or fighting off a cold?
After practice today I went from being calm, to being very hungry, to being cranky later in the afternoon, to being really fatigued. I took a nap at one point. I think the fatigue was the most profound and strange thing.
Last night and this morning I felt like I was fighting off a cold. Now the cold is nowhere in evidence. Sometimes when I've had my doubts about practicing because I felt I was coming down with something, I would go anyway and feel better later. So it's not strange to stave off a cold. Getting the fatigue on through, like waiting for a slow moving freight so you can cross the tracks was what was really strange.
The only reason I ask these questions at all was that after all this, I started reading The Yoga of Breath by Richard Rosen, so it occurred to me this could be new territory. I think I'm okay, I'm certainly not alarmed or anything. I just wondered if it was reasonable to experience something new, particularly something one can't quite put words around.
