Today I am pondering

The feeling of being alive

Having just completed my weekly live online Soma Yoga class I have this wonderful feeling of being alive in every single cell of my body. It’s an almost imperceptible sense of vibration and movement at a cellular level. I feel a lightness and sense of relaxation that penetrates my entire body.

What a gift!

I don’t always feel that way. The cool weather today and beautiful clouds scudding through the blue sky help to lift my spirits. And the slow deliberate movement and relaxation of Soma Yoga helps me to tune in to my body in ways I don’t normally do.

“Close your eyes and turn your face into the wind.

Feel it sweep along your skin in an invisible ocean of exultation.

Suddenly, you know you are alive.”
Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

As I walk through the house I am filled with a sense of how good it feels to move my body. And then I feel such gratitude for these few moments. It does not always feel good to move so whenever it does I take note and give thanks.

How are you feeling today? Can you feel the wondrous feeling of being alive? If not, what would it take to find that feeling? Can you feel what a gift life is?

Have a lovely weekend friends.

May you walk in beauty.

Note: I have decided to take all of Labor Day weekend off from writing blog posts. I’ll see you here Tuesday next week.
