The Wiccan Yogi

As you may or may not know, I have recently renewed my interest in the practice of yoga, not only as a means to physical fitness, but more importantly to improve my focus and meditational skills. It has worked. I have now begun returning to that beautiful grounded feeling wherever I am, and my magick has improved because of it. I have not held a full ritual since I began (which was three weeks ago: I'm a BAD witch), but my spontaneous visualizations have held much more effect. This is also likely due to the elevated sense of well-being one gets when exercising regularly; "insurmountable" issues don't seem so bad. I'm taking to it so well that I have begun to see the unrolling of my yoga mat almost as a declaration of sacred space.

So I would just like to take this moment to affirm that, as a Witch, if not as a Pagan, it is one of your duties to take care of yourself. "He who can not hex can not heal," but the doctor who walks with a limp can't make housecalls.
