They don't care what they look like. They aren't thinking about falling. They aren't thinking about anything else in the world. Their only focus is on getting their little body over to that space just there in front of them. Seeing what they want, they launch themselves toward it will full purpose of heart. Literally HEART. Their chests lead the way.
Now, I'm not saying we should all walk about with our chests sticking out like toddlers. We choose to close our hearts for many reasons. But wouldn't it be interesting to be able to harness that openness in our practice? I'm definitely going to have K and L in mind when I do my next wheel pose, striving to open my chest.
I will be thinking about what it means to lead with my heart in my asanas, but also in my intention. Can I lead with my heart as a mother? What does that mean? What changes would that make in my daily interactions? hmm....
