A New Day
There are times in life when we feel off. Nothing extreme, just not in the zone. Sometimes returning from a trip makes me feel that way. Catching up on things takes time and energy. It seems like a daunting task, so I just do bits and pieces. Eventually, things even out and I find my rhythm again.
In my Feldenkrais® ATM (Awareness Through Movement)* class this week we took on a new challenge, sitting half-on, half-off a stool. During most lessons we lie on the floor. Sometimes I think that posture draws many of us to class. After-all, it’s not often that we take time to lay down to be present with ourselves and our bodies. ATM® is the key that has allowed me to open many interior doorways. Although this lesson had its hurdles, I found myself resting when I needed to rest, following instruction to suit my body, and finding patterns that had escaped me. I was in the “Feldenkrais® Zone,” taking care of myself. During the rest of the day and night, I absorbed the struggles as well as welcomed the adjustments.
That evening, I happened into a “Oneness Blessing.” ** Individually, the group shared what awakening was to them. For my part I stated, “Awakening is being me.” The more that I am me, the better I am in this world. The more I share, the more I want to be with others to listen to them share. Being one is wholeness. The being that I love to be. And that opens me more to love.
Today I awoke and felt rejuvenated. Several aches and pains were gone and I was able to move through my day in a better state of mind. It is good to know that my body heals well and that I am back in the zone. There are countless ways to get there. I hope you take the time to open up to a new day yourself. Be well... Nancy T.
