So it’s been kind of an amazing time and truthfully I’m not even sure when it began but sometime within the last two weeks. And I definitely believe in the power and influence of things like the Vernal Equinox and the Full Moon.. especially this last “Super Moon” that was the biggest in almost 20 years, 14% bigger and 30% brighter… it was a beauty if you got to see it. But as always I am getting away from my point here…which is that I absolutely believe we are influenced by these kinds of event in nature among other things in a physical way.
And I was so ready to be influenced. So ready to come more fully back into my body which is my happiest place, truly and really the place that is my home and where all of the best of me springs from.Tiny tangent coming- I am absolutely happiest in the physical although I am a decent cerebral type and can exist quite well in that realm. But not as happily. I fell madly in love with dance and danced through high school and college and then was the high-impact aerobics queen in my 20’s leading to 2 major knee surgeries due to excess and “overuse”. I love the water and the ocean and swimming so much that I spent every cent I had to put in a pool when we moved to this house 8 years ago, just to be immersed in the pleasure of the cool blueness of it…my friend Jennifer calls it “my blue heaven”.. it definitely is. Walking in the hills of our town and seeing the seasonal changes of the beautiful apple orchards en route… pure beauty and sensual pleasure plus really good for gravity around my butt. I even love (seriously love) picking up sticks in the yard and doing yard work. It’s the physicality, the connection of being EMBODIED.. the relief of getting ouf of my crazy overanalytical thinking mind that is part of it, but I love the connection to being physical and sensual and sexual and seeing what the body can do.. what MY body can do. Not in a crazy driven way… (except for that couple of years in aerobics, and that was really just about how good the music was in class that I got seriously addicted to the classes- was in grad school and needed the physical to offset the mental).
I guess it’s true that I always need the physical to offset the mental and it always feels so joy-filled to be in the physical because the mental is where the fear and perfectionism and crazy live!
Anyways, big changes have been in motion (really in motion)… changes that have been about trying more yoga, something I thought I couldn’t do with a knee that had seen too much surgery but am loving. Changes in eating that are moving towards something unfamiliar and lighter and that have no true direction or label and I don’t totally know what I’m doing so it’s a little weird but my body knows..
And it’s really true as the old saying reminds us “The Body Knows”… it does. That’s kind of what I’m saying in my typically longwinded way here.
Will tell you more about the changes that have been breezing in lately in another post. Am going to finish my tea and put something together in my new big-momma blender. And I might take another yoga class this morning (took “hot” yoga for the first time yesterday… another change, will tell you about it later).
I am in the physical realm, fully embodied, it’s my favorite and best place. It’s also when I am most connected to the intuitive flow and the other energies and the natural world. It’s beautiful.
Where are you most embodied? What reconnects you to your body? Leave a comment here, I’d love to know.
