Can you believe I haven't exercised in almost 2 weeks and have about 3 more to go?! Its amazing how much more time I have on my hands. Physical activity has taken a backseat to meditation, reading and just being (okay a little online Scrabble and catching up on my tivo'd Oprahs). I realize now that I was overexercising -- in addition to my teaching schedule -- and that it wasn't doing me much good. It wasn't nurturing just depleting. I really like being a shlub. Its very peaceful and relaxing but I do look forward to my cold, hearty, outdoor walks come March 2 (but who's counting?).
Speaking of meditation -- I am sitting quietly twice a day for 15 to 30 minutes and loving it!! My trick is this: Lie down, legs and arms uncrossed, palms up for receiving. Don't do anything -- just ALLOW. When I say that word to myself my whole body relaxes and releases. That's it. You can inhale deeply and on your exhalation say the word ALLOW to yourself or even say it aloud. Report back to me on your progress.
Generally I feel great. I do feel like I am radiating clarity and contentment. Honestly, when I go to the supermarket I happily float down the aisles giving off that feel good vibe. People are looking at me strangely like: "What's in her cart? I got to get me some of that!"
Maybe its all the spiritual reading and clean living. Recently I read a quote about
life being a movie -- if that's the case then mine is rated G. Here is what I'm reading: John of God by Heather Cumming, Spiritual Alliances by Emma Bragdon, any books by Allan Kardec (founder of Spiritism) and my latest fave: Nosso Lar: An Account of Life in a Spirit Colony by Francisco Candido Xavier. All available at Amazon and my personal lending library.
Sending you all good vibes! xxoo
