All right. Here we are. This is Jay Brown Yoga Togs podcast. My name is Jay Brown. If this is your first time listening to the show, let me welcome you.

Everyone else, what's up?

How is everyone feeling?

Maybe we could take a moment to check.

If you're like running around and doing stuff, I mean, if you're driving your car, of course.

Pay attention to the road.

But maybe we could take a moment,

just see, can we have a sense of how we're feeling in this moment?

How are we feeling physically?

What's the pain level like?

How are we feeling mentally? What's the pain level like? How are we feeling? Mentally, what's the anxiety level

like in your thought spirals today? Hopefully, you're doing okay. I surely hope so. If you were

here last week, you know, I was sharing that I had a pretty nasty pain flare up.

And sitting here now, having just done my own check in, I would say that my pain level is

considerably less now than it was last week. And I'm very grateful for that. I feel like I made

good choices in terms of what I did physically with myself, mostly

it was doing less. But also, I was really reflecting on how much of my personal practice

or my personal process of trying to address my pain had much more to do with managing my internal experience,

like my mental frame, or my mental health, you could say.

And I was also thinking a lot about last week's episode with Ryan Kursak.

He made a statement about yoga is not healing.

And I've just been thinking about that so much.
