The Power of a Decision

PicturePose: Inclined Plane
The power of a decision. The moment we 'decide' can carry a determination lit by our 'root' chakra at the base of the tailbone. Decisions are sometimes described as 'moment-ous', the very moment we take the decision is like the moment we lit a match, flicked a switch. There was a before, an after and not much in between. This fiery energy is one we learn to tap into, work with, and engage in poses such as inclined plane.

We 'decide' to lift up our body -- there's no other option. Do we really 'make' decisions, or 'take' them? In this pose, you literally take yourself up into that decision and that's that. You can't get into this pose half-assed. Literally, your rear-end goes all the way up, or it doesn't move off the mat much at all. You can't get into this pose with hesitation or equivocation or while dreamy or spacy. Unlike other asanas, there is no gradual softening or release; none of this waiting for a part of the body to open. It's all or nothing. You decide to lift up, or you decide not to. You decide to stay in it longer. And longer. And longer. Or you decide to take yourself out of it.
