Where I've Been Hiding

I fell victim to influenza - temps in excess of 101 degrees, deeply painful aches, excruciating coughs, asking for death. I was out of commission for over a week. This meant that in addition to feeling like I was playing catch up for days and days, I had to reschedule half of my Ortho-Bionomy® Phase 4 Basic Workshop. I don't know what made this class hard, but it was.

By hard, I don't mean bad - it was full of delightful people who had good, transformational experiences, delightful surroundings and the wonderful opportunity for increased clarity I hope for myself every time I teach. Hard in that at each step it felt like I was going uphill. The flu was only one of the small stumbling blocks. It also felt as if is profoundly important for the class to happen. It was very important for it to happen for the individuals who attended somehow.

When events conspire against you, how do you know when it's right to throw in the towel and when it's important to persevere? What are your signals? What do they look, sound or feel like? How do you know they're reliable? I'd love to hear how everyone's intuition manifests for each person individually. Please share...
