Raunuclus, taken April 2009
I spent most of today resting, as I woke up with a hot and sore throat.
And whenever I have something going on with my 5th chakra, I always start looking at what needs spoken or named in my life.
After I did an energy healing on myself this morning, I checked in with what I needed to give voice to and found that I was screaming for some space, comfort and quiet.
Which is exactly what I did today. (Thank you, body, for the reminder of what it is my soul craves!)
I'm not surprised my body felt un-well today.
On Tuesday, I was very much in the "I'm behind" story. (An old story that I'm committed to rewriting!) All I could see was email inbox again filled with messages, the upstairs to our house in chaos as three rooms get switched around, and all the things on my to do list that didn't get done.
And today my body gave me the pause to slow down and be more present.
It amazing how much more there is — more time, more space, more focus, more joy — when we are in the present.
Going forward, I'm committed to being a good listener to my body, who for several days has been nudging me to enjoy some rest and relaxation. I'm grateful for the pause I was given today to do just that.
Tell me, what is your body telling you and how can you honor its wisdom?
