Movement is the elixir of life. Almost everything we do involves our body in motion in some way or another. Think about it for a moment; you are always moving; your heart, your breath, your brain, your blood, 700 +
muscles, 200+ bones; movement is happening everywhere all of the time. Even when you think you are in stillness you are still moving! Movement is life. Movement has the capacity to take us to the home of our soul where we can discover new insights about what feeds our life-source; it holds wisdom, wonder and magic.
Today's Monday's Morsel is about movement. Nothing complicated, nothing complex, just noticing and enjoying the awareness and fun of the simplicity of movement.
Start with sitting in your chair and feel the sensation of your body in the chair. Add in a pinch of alternating the tensing and releasing of your left and right buttocks cheeks and notice how each side feels. Mix in a cup of some shimmy of your shoulders and a tablespoon of letting your let your hands dance to the beat of Harry Belafonte. Now is time to add in a good sized portion of the tapping of your feet and a pint each of moving your pelvis,
your belly and your rib cage to the sultry rhythms of Laura Love. Release the flavored zest of your mind and mix in with your entire being to all that is coming alive. Taste the elixir of your body in movement. Smell the fragrance of your restorative essence.
Move.
Being Alive is and Art!
