Sadcore Sundays: “Between the Bars” by Elliot Smith

Sadcore Sundays: "Between the Bars" by Elliot Smith
Lyrics: Drink up baby, stay up all night With the things you could do You won’t but you might The potential you’ll be That you’ll never see The promises you’ll only make Drink up with me now And forget all about The pressure of days Do what I say And I’ll make you okay And drive them away The images stuck in your headPeople you’ve been before That you don’t want around anymore That push and shove and won’t bend to your will I’ll keep them still

Drink up baby, look at the stars
I’ll kiss you again between the bars
Where I’m seeing you there
With your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught

Yoga for Anxiety + Depression #3: Thread the Needle

Posted by strange on October 30, 2014
Yoga for Anxiety + Depression #3: Thread the Needle

Your pose for today is: Thread the Needle !

Thread the Needle falls under the category of “hip openers” in a typical yoga class, and focuses specifically on your “outer hips.” Most of our stress is stored in our hips, so it’s totally normal and common to feel frustration or to cry in hip openers. When you do this pose, you are releasing emotional stress from your body that is wayyy past overdue when leaving your physical body.
