Songs, Yoga, gif

Dang! I've found so many wonderful songs from so many weird and unexpected places! I just had to update my history list here with recent adds in the last two weeks. I've found a few Actors myS pages this week. Eliza Dusku, of all people! I've luv'ed her for so long I thought she was OLD! Not so, only 28, I've Friend requested her! Just to get notified of her new movies & TV shows. I mean, what else? True LUV? HAHAHAHAHA! Drat! I hate it when I speak the truth sometimes!

I've got a few of my favorite "smiles" cut out of pictures for icons to change things up. Eliza = WOW in that category. Did a couple of gifs of "junk" movement but they didn't come out too well. Did one of StepUp2 which looks OK on my screen but gets all broken up, probably from myS compressing it a whole bunch more, when used as default. Also did one of Des in Guess/Playboy butt model dancing pose, but she blew me off on that one! Many not a side/style of her she wants to express. If she doesn't show it I don't either. I did do a DesDancing (very simple reversal of pic) which she approved to show in her coms.

I'm down to doing less than an hour a day of Yoga. Did several hours a day as I started out last month. Got the front hip bone/belly and front of the thighs a little more flexible, and they relax much faster so I don't need as much. Also the breathing in/out at three heartbeats each is working wonders to help relax. Follow the breath, that's what they say. But HOW, they don't say. Feeling the initial "need to breath" on a heartbeat, then following the "feeling" in/out on three beats, that works! Funny thing about "following the breath", it pulses with the pressure changes in the chest cavity. That is the easiest way to feel it, not the heart itself, the chest pressure changes against the diaphram. Breathing out or in, it doesn't matter, if you "follow" it you can "feel" the heart beating by feeling the breath beating. To hear it, you can hold a "note" humming or singing. The note pulses.

Another favorite pose (I'm learning some of the names) is to modify Cobra with Tree and use the leg to softly rock the hipbone sideways to feel the hamstring in the back of the hip. The hams are popping! gluts too! The weirdest thing I wasn't expecting was that I can now feel my whole spine from the head down to the tailbone. It had been so-o-o locked up & gone for many years. The pose that really hits the back (but I started it for the hams) is from Cobra (lying on belly with chest up a bit) extend the knees to the sides (ballet stretch) then PUSH your feet together! Extending and contracting the feet really works the hams in "dynamic tension" (like Charles Atlas!), but the whole back kicks in also. The muscles cramp and strain very quickly, but dang! it feels so-o-o GOOD! And after the body just naturally puts inself into a "military" posture when you stand up; shoulders back, chest up and relaxed, head tall. So cool, just like when I was a twently something! Except old ...

And the music list I promised...
