a quaking soul

Oh how my body doth quake, and shiver, with the effort required to reprogramme the soul. This shaking was a mystery to me until this morning, when my yoga instructor reminded me that parts of the body shake when its muscles and tendons are learning new ways to move, new parameters to their existence. What is true for the body is also true for one's spirit: once one begins to shake off the shackles of habit and addiction, of blindness and woe, of fear and self-repression, the soul begins to vibrate anew. Freed from its tight and stifling embrace, it soon shatters the remaining bonds, soaring out from the very Inner Core with such exuberance as to make a person quake. Oh, what wonderful mystery is life on this plane.
