When Our Bodies Whisper

Our bodies are amazing in their abilities. They provide us with mobility, as well as the ability to communicate with each other, to taste different flavors, experience different scents, see different colors and patterns and finally to think. We breathe automatically most of the time. Our hearts beat without any impetus on our part. Our digestive systems operate quite well when given the correct nourishment. Finally, our bodies are able to heal many of the hurts that we inflict on them.

Vacation and Reset

Sandy beaches, elegant swaying palm trees, a cool light breeze and the sun playing peek-a-boo with wispy clouds is one of my imagination’s ideas of a perfect stress free get away. As I continue to daydream, other natural environments come to my mind including; hiking under foliage covered trails in the mountains, dancing amongst trees so tall I can barely glimpse the top branches as they touch the sky, and camping under stars so bright and visible, I share in their joy of not competing with light pollution. These are the places I enjoy escaping to for even a few hours to reset, decompress and reconnect with who I am. Just envisioning being out in nature, no electronics and time to just experience life, brings a peace to my soul. Read more “Vacation and Reset” →

Mindfulness

Yoga Flow

It was rather a serendipitous happenstance that I found the gift of Yoga. I was aimlessly browsing through some ‘close-out’ items just after Christmas at a bookstore and a Yoga dvd with instructional book caught my attention. After a very brief consideration and on a whim (at least it seemed at the time) I purchased the item. I really had no knowledge of Yoga other that it was a mysterious exercise practice from a world far removed from mine. My best explanation for this purchase was that as a child I had taken traditional tap (my favorite!), ballet (because it was good for me) and jazz (just for fun!) dance classes and despite wanting to return to them as an adult had found my obligations to my family out weighed my obligations to myself. I rationalized to myself this purchase was my way of filling that desire.

Sometimes the journey is easy and joyful, some times it is challenging and back breaking. It is the back breaking ones that teach us how to grow, to uncover the parts of us that are in hiding. It was one these paths I found myself on unexpectedly (and probably how it should be) more recently.

Health. Something I know I have taken for granted far too often. Not necessarily my own, as I am keenly aware of how I am feeling, but my loved ones. More recently, the assumption my family is healthy because no one is complaining has been brought into sharper focus showing me just exactly how tenuous our loved one’s health can be. And how Mom was always right, never assume because… Read more “Up on a Shelf” →
