Listen, hear, feel, know, love

I've had an incredibly intense last two, or three-I'm not even sure at this point, weeks and I'm feeling like I'm just now coming out of the darkness, back into myself and back into my body!

I woke up Saturday morning feeling very uncomfortable in my own skin.  My body felt heavy.  It felt like there was just too much stagnant and just sitting there...like something has to change.  Like I've been through a lot, have some things in my life that aren't fitting and it's time to let it and them go.

So then I danced, then I taught a second class and finally started feeling somewhat normal, myself.  I feel more myself when teaching Nia than anywhere else in my life...

Taking care of your body and yourSelf is a balance.  It's knowing when you need to change something, it's listening to what your body is telling you, what your sensations are, what your feelings are, what works for you, what doesn't.     It's eating what you're Hungry for, but knowing if it's just to numb or comfort yourself or if you really want it because you really want it for you!  It's knowing when you need to move and when you need to be still.  It's really listening, hearing, paying attention, loving and knowing...

We all hold everything in our bodies, I think I might have some old stuff, some stuff I need to release, some things I need to shift and change and let go of.  Thinking I might do a 3 week cleanse.  Thinking I want to feel more comfortable in my skin, which tells me there's something in my life and in mySelf I'm uncomfortable with.  It's time for a change.  

What do I need?   What is here for me?  What am I telling myself?  How am I going to honor all of it, all of me?  It's always a process.  We are all always learning and growing and changing and shifting.  It's simply about learning to know and trust and love.

Love your Body, Love yourSelf, Love your Life...
