as i've journeyed into a gentler, grace-based approach to life, a surprising inclination to holistic self-care has unfolded beneath my feet. it feels different than the old ways, has a different voice,
tender. nurturing. no shadowy remnants of shame, pummeling me into less shape than before.
on sunday, tears sprouted with the first rhythmic chords of yulunga and stayed with me as i stumbled along unfamiliar paths. it felt raw, tribal. powerful, and yet oh so healing.
a healing way.

moves, with grace, and rests with grace.
at this point in my life i take each step organically, tasting, feeling, sensing,
whole body praying,
seeing what comes next.
and this, this i loved.
this sounds so magical and beautiful. i hope there are more experiences like this coming soon for you. <3

thank you for being you
love and light
moves me and rests me - how I love that phrase. :-) I smiled involuntarily when I read it, and knew it was right. :-) xo
ReplyDeleteRain, I've been realizing how much I need to get out of my head and into my body, my living. Thank you for the softness through which you speak, that does not diminish your conviction ... 'whole body praying' Yes.
ReplyDeletepraying with my body... exactly how I felt about my yoga practice back when I could do yoga. The movement itself integrated body mind and soul into a whole prayer... to God, from God, by God, in myself, with myself. And I cried for about a year in almost every class.
ReplyDeletesandra, thanks for sharing that...it's wondrously intimate.
ReplyDeletejanae, i'm glad you *get* it...get that whole body praying. maybe don't get out of your head so much, but move *with* your head into your body and living...know what i mean? and grow them all together?
rambling tart...thank you for that smile. :-) {{<3}}
cat & rachel...so much love.
Thank you for the reply Rain, for advocating for my mind's strengths to welcome, integrate and appreciate all into the whole. Out of fear I can be too quick to move away from that which I should be moving into.
