Not Taking Anything for Granted

I found out after so many years that I am alive that I am not really very good at anything save one. That I can go on and on deeper and deeper into something that catches my fancy. I don't get bored through the long duration of my search. Some call this ability as the ability to do sadhana. Since now I know that I am good at it, and I derive much pleasure doing so, let me do only that. Let me not take anything for granted, which follows therefore, that let me earn every thing I have.

Padma-Baddha Sirshasana

Sirshasana variation 1 - Padma-Baddha Sirshasana

Padma(n.) = Lotus
Baddha (adj.) = Bound
Seersha (n.) = Head, top
Asana (n.) = posture

Some call it as Padma Sirshasana as well.

How beginners may start practising Sirshasana:

Technique 1:

Try it against a wall - it will work if you are slightly confident of balancing yourself. Get a partner who will hoist your legs and set them up against a wall. The wall will protect you against the chance of falling on your back.

However this technique fails if you are unsure of a side-wise fall

Technique 2:

Choose a corner of a room where two walls meet, and try the above.
