Finding peace in the body
As I walked down 17th today toward Market, I suddenly realized how much more aligned I felt. My chest felt open, my chin tucked. Guess the chiro's moving me to every two weeks rather than weekly adjustments was well warranted.
Had my first coaching session today. It feels really amazing to me to receive coaching from someone who's also a bodyworker & energyworker... we speak a common language, had more immediate understanding. The big gem from today was that my next step is creating more peace, specifically in my body... but thus in my life.
I hear this mainly as another hint from the universe to get my ass in yoga class. I've been talking about it, the chiro suggested it last week, I've been trying to arrange a trade with a yoga instructor, and now this. I really hope we can make the trade happen soon, and then on a regular basis.
Certain yoga styles, chiropractic approaches, and massage modalities are all great for working on posture, but I think the three together are probably a force to be reckoned with ;-)
Anyway, right next door is Crystal Way, and I found myself in there after my session, leaving with an apophyllite crystal. It's fairly amazing for such a little guy.
Between the session, the crystal, and Deva Premal's recording of the Gayatri Mantra on the iPod, I had a pretty peaceful walk home.
I stopped on the way to gather myrtle berries, just a handful, but I wanted some before they all drop. I'm hoping to collect more this week, since I haven't found anywhere online that sells them.
