Musing…
“How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold? Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root, and in that freedom bold.” ~ William Wordsworth
Charise’s Turn:
The summer solstice will soon be upon us…the day with the most amount of light. How is the increasing light infusing your being? As a dance/movement therapist, I know how dance expands your range of movement choices, bringing possibilities for change. While we have habits and limitations, the desire to break through to new choices and abilities is part of our human nature. Stay with that desire for a while…open your heart to what is possible…in a nanosecond you’ll be on the other side of a breakthrough, however small or grand it may be. And isn’t “small” pretty grand in the long run?
Get Fired Up:
Here is a yoga mudra to sit with while you sit in that heart-centered space of all possibilities:
Create an open flower position with your two hands, connected at the wrists with the thumb and little finger of one hand touching the thumb and little finger of the other while all other fingers spread apart. Hold this mudra at the level of your heart center at your chest and breathe as if smelling the fragrance of a blossom. A minute or two is enough…and easily repeatable.
“I hope you will go out and let stories happen to you, and that you will work them, water them with your blood and tears and your laughter till they bloom, till you yourself burst into bloom.”
~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes
