A New Year’s Practice
My current newsletter talks about replacing resolutions with practices.
My morning’s walk is a time for exercise, reflection, dreaming, and planning. This morning it occured to me that what had made a real difference in my pain level were the practices I had instituted. So, I thought to ask my inner guides what the #1 practice for this new year ought to be.
The answer: "Listen to your body" was whispered in a soft, quiet, barely discernable voice — what irony!
Simple answer. Hard to do.
Well, at least for me.
I tend to live in the world of intuition: possiblities, dreams, the future and anything but the here and now. Nothing wrong with that, except when I don’t pay attention to what I need NOW.
Hence, my inner guides advice: Listen.
But how?
One, way to listen is to first ask. So, everym morning, at least, I ask my body what it needs. It tells me!
Another way to listen is to take a deep breath, move into my body and out of my head, and just move through the parts of me.
This year I know I will find more ways…
And, I will share them with you.
