Body in pain (RA) after Kailash

Sept 2
Body woke up fresh around 4 am. I savour the freshness of my body waking up. Good knowing my body is now back. Waited awhile till alarm rang at 4.20 am before I rise from bed.

Did Bhuta Shuddi and skip Guru pooja. Followed by cat stretch, left wrist was bit painful and right elbow was painful and so was left shoulder. It was a base cat stretch since having all these pains.
Start with Angamardhana, left shoulder and right elbow in pain when I did hand postures. Surprising It was quite okay despite 3 weeks of non practice and pain in various joints. I was unable to do the squatting with legs pushed out posture as both feet's balls are in pain. Baby posture was difficult with knee ham string totally stretched. This time I insert the pillow seat towards the front to release the pressure. Lying down postures was good. The 5 minutes Dhyna, went into quick meditation with head shaking. After a quick Shavasana, did one cycle of Surya Kriya, I couldn't do the first lying down posture due to pain in both shoulder and elbow. I can only do 2 mountain pose with both feet on the ground. After Surya Kriya, went straight into breathing meditation instead of doing another short Shavasana. It was okay.
Shakti was good but bit lost in tots during Kapala Bhakti especially third cycle. I was singing out loud at the end. Did an abridged Shambavi, it was quite powerful, can sense me going deeper. Wish I could stay longer in my contented deep silence.  Amen.
I m slowly coming back. Just adjusted alarm clock to 4.15 am; slowly returning.

Of Mystics and Mistakes
Pournami
Ask the people who are a little mad. They know the difference very well.
Just as the water in the river and sea is rising up, similarly ur blood is trying to jump up.  When the circulation of blood increases in ur brain, whatever is ur quality get enhanced. If u r a little mad, u become madder.  If u are peaceful, u become more peaceful. If u are joyous u become more joyous.  Whatever is ur quality, it is just being pushed up.
A person seeking to grow on the spiritual path cannot ignore Gautama. Gautama flowered on a Pournami because for a person on the path of effortlessness, Pournami is best. For the practice of Samyama, Pournami is definitely best.

Soul
On the enhanced quality, I recalled that when I was drunk with liqour, I normally just giggle.
Amen.
No wonder the Buddha idol is part of my shrine.
