Rest has transformed the way I feel.

Yesterday I took care of many small detailed elements that were stressing me.

Today I feel well rested after a deep and undisturbed sleep. Last night was the first night in many that I felt no pain in the middle of the night. To wake up after a night of rest was delightful.

I feel energized and enriched by rest.

Today I will take care of a few more pieces, I will allow for the tranquility to flow. I will savour the delight of feeling rested and rejuvenated and unafraid.

GLAD for REST ~ September 2011

Glads are a delight! ❤

Sustaining Pleasure – Juicy Heart

Pleasure has been in the forefront for the past few days.

My great pleasure has actually been the meditative art of pressing Saris. Having cleaned these beautiful cloths that had adorned my body, they needed to be pressed. Doing this seeming chore was actually a meditative and delightful pursuit. Pressing the yards and yards of fabric woven, embroidered, painted and decorated allowed me to delve into an area where I had slowed down and there was little intrusion into my mind or other levels of my body.  Having brought my mind to rest, allowed for me to feel the pleasure that was there under the jumble of thoughts.

Pressing the Saris was a beautiful experience.

Today I will be in the simple beauty of restful pleasure.

Beauty Bestowed...

 

 

Preparing – Juicy Heart

This time of year is always like the beginning to me. Transition is in the air.

The earth is preparing for the fall, trees and fruit and flowers are pulling the juice from the earth to enrich themselves, the light is changing in the sky, the weather moves in unfamiliar patterns and I feel like this is the transition into a new time.

And YES! this really is the transition into a new time. There is much to prepare for and lots to dream and scheme and plot and plan and get ready for. I pull the juice from my earth to ripen and enrich my experience.

September will bring a Body Electric workshop to Toronto that we have not had in many years. October will bring some new events into my coaching practice. November will bring some new elements as the Body Electric is here in Toronto again and I will be introducing some new elements into my breath and bodywork practice. December brings a trip to a meeting to plan for the NEW Body Electric and I am excited and happy for this great opportunity.

The real New Year will bring many new elements, several co-creations and of course there will be surprise.

I adore that all around me is getting ready for harvest. The fruit on the vine and branch is developing juice and flesh to burst forth with the ripe sweetness of the fall.

Today I will savour the summer and be active in preparing for the next transition. Loving and laughing and smiling as I live and breath.

Exploring finding new and old, tried and untried. Exploring the way to find excitment and pleasure.

Today I will explore with an open heart

Diving in DEEP with a JUICY Heart

Diving in DEEP helps me maintain a JUICY Heart. The excitement and thrill of going down deep, not knowing what to expect and being on the edge of the unknown is thrilling. For me this is like a Zip Line or a Roller Coaster. If I get on and get off and simply freeze in between, not breathing, not allowing for the experience, I will not enjoy or be a part of the experience. SO, I get on that Zip Line, ride that Roller Coaster and partake fully in the experience diving in deep, breathing fully and letting the experience move through my body. I might event laugh or scream or shake or giggle, cry or swear or be really messy. All of this expression is part of the experience part and allows me to be exactly how and who I am.  😉

I know and trust that the experience will carry me and that I am more me for partaking fully in all of the expereince.

Today I will TRUST and DIVE IN DEEP!

MMMMMM The Juices are flowing!

Doing and Doing and BEING INSPIRED and allowing the flow.

Being aware of what is happening in my body as I take care of my work, allows for more information to come to me. I am more able to remember and concentrate if I allow for free flow in my body. I become very aware of my breath and making certain to breath slow and easy. Filling my lungs and exhaling in whatever way serves me best: a yawn, a sigh, a puff, a long moan, a smile, a laugh.

Today is a day where I am full of blissand pleasure even though there might be what could be experienced as a lot of external pressures. Deadlines and anxious energy seem to be all around me. As I smile and breath and picture the flow of energy through my body I can be free.

Today in my work with Men I have been Coaching Body Awareness, allowing for free flow and unfettered expression.

Today I feel Free and Empowered knowing that I am IN MY BODY!

❤ the JUICY Heart
