Finding Balance With Mindfulness
The body not only keeps the score but it also keeps a calendar. My entire body knew an anniversary of a terrifying event was coming up and this anniversary was approaching at a time when there were several stressors happening in my life. My internal protectors knew before I did that I did not have the strength or capacity to be with all I was holding and, thankfully, dropped my nervous system in a dorsal vagal state so I could get by on the bare minimum until I had more capacity on board to deal with all the things that were happening in the here and now.
The Perfect Day: A Side Effect of Mindfulness
Perfect blue skies, perfect warmth from the sun, perfect visual experience, perfect level of strength and energy, perfect companionship with new friends from morning through night and being mindful of this day, right before bed, as I laid down on the grass and gazed up into the perfect star-filled clear sky to bring the full day of experiences into my heart center - mind, body and spirit.
Desiring Rest, Finding Strength
Stay true to your inner most desires and set intentions. You will be pleasantly surprised with what you accomplish and where it leads you.
