This post found me at a very receptive moment. Thanks for putting this out there Christina. Between the Wednesday practice and your blog, I am a lucky person to get to learn from you.EllenKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00878485880818400673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257811012678007955.post-68369740300948469652011-03-25T16:21:47.680-07:002011-03-25T16:21:47.680-07:00I am worried that working with attitude and intent...I am worried that working with attitude and intentionmeans that you take and are given responsibility for your own state of mind and health. Also for the things that were either too big for you to handle or completely out of your hands, happened by accident or caused by other people or by your genetic disposition or because you grew up the wrong place or are unavoidable because you live in the 21.cent in a big city. If it comes down to ‘ it is my own fault because I have not been positive enough’ or if your surroundings blame you for not having the right attitude it can lead to what is happening here in Denmark . People who cannot lose enough weight are not eligible for certain operations. Treatment is withheld from people who can’t stop smoking or drinking. People who can’t find the strength and attitude to change their ways are being penalized this way. I understand that the guy who has lung cancer should stop smoking, but what if he can’t… does that mean he only has himself to blame? What if I am so angry about losing my legs in Iraq war that every day is hell? I probably know that my life would be better with a good attitude but I can’t really get to the point where I thank for having lost my legs and say that I have learned so much from my injuries?<br />I have never been able to reconcile these ideas. I blogged for a couple of years on Yogajournal and read thousands of messages and blogs from people who thought that working with intention and attitude meant that they had to be upbeat about everything even the worst problems so I know that this is not a negligible problem. But I don't know what can be done either.<br />All the best and thank you for good provoking blogs.kwajnmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08507303458844975457noreply@blogger.com
