Honoring Your Body

This is the dressing room I used for a recent theatrical production I was blessed to be in. In theatre, your body is your instrument. Keeping up on my yoga (it's been years since I performed!) helped me to keep connection with my body and be a conduit for story. Yoga is union between your body, mind, and spirit. Today my musings are on connecting with and honoring your body. Questions to ponder: What is your relationship with your body? What do you believe about your body? (what do you THINK you SHOULD believe… and what do you ACTUALLY believe?) Maybe you meditate in gratitude on your body. Maybe you have compassion for the season that it is in. Maybe you listen a little more for an understanding of how you can treat it better. Maybe you imagine how you would want a little girl or boy to think about their body, and allow yourself to think similarly. Maybe you give your feet a little coconut oil massage before bed. Maybe you take a warm shower. Maybe you eat a seasonal piece of fruit and really savor it, feeling the nutrients soaking into your body. Maybe you drink a tall glass of pure water and feel the deliciousness flowing through your body. Maybe you turn on some music and just let your body move how it wants to. Maybe you give someone (and allow yourself to receive) a safe, wonderful, long hug. If someone borrowed your body for a day, how would you want them to treat it? I send love to you and your body.

    About

    Musings on engaging in yoga and yoga-esque perspectives and activities while in the midst of daily living. I still very much consider myself a beginner and hope I am not too presumptuous in offering my thoughts. If you ever feel to respond or share, I will be so glad to witness your sharing.

    My quest is to Nurture Divinity. My own divinity, my children’s divinity, the divinity of those around me, and of my environment. I hope that these little blips will add to your own journey to uncover and embody your divinity.
