You know you need to sort things out when you take your children to a toddlers rugby class and notice that there is a balled-up pair of blood-stained knickers in your bag, next to the spare nappy, leftover from your recent trip to the hospital.
I mean, seriously. Do other mothers walk around in this state of disarray??
Anyway, I listened to a 20 minute guided meditation last night (by the end of yesterday, not only was I exhausted but I was starting to get shooting pains through my skull and my chest felt like it had a weight on it). I tried meditation quite a while back and I did find it very, very helpful in adjusting my mood and outlook.
I need peace from my own thoughts, and it’s a great, scientifically proven, way to do it.
So I’m going to try to meditate much more. Maybe even every day if possible.
And I’m just so inspired by Kino MacGregor:
I have ordered her book about her journey into yoga, and a yoga DVD for beginners by Tara Lee (a respected UK teacher). I’ve never really understood yoga, but sometimes you need a change, and maybe this is exactly what I need. Well, running is out of the question since every time I so much as walk anywhere I get out of breath and start bleeding (I have a final scan booked for Friday to check what’s going on).
AND I have also treated myself to three gemstone bracelets.
One for love, one for healing and one for protection from negative energy.
Beads to everyone else, but a sort of talisman for me.
To remind me to move forward with grace.
Tearing up once again here. I’m hoping you’re getting lots of hugs.
Take your comfort where you can get it, whether that’s bead bracelets, yoga videos or meditation. Be well. xoxo
I think you are onto something beautiful. A wonderful healthy change up. Kino is amazing, I follow her on Facebook. Meditation and yoga are the answer to everything, in my opinion, if we just listen.
