I would like to say I’ve sat everyday and I haven’t which feels OK to say. I have nourished my soul each day with sitting or some other activity/practice.
I’ve noticed that if I don’t sit for a couple of days it’s more difficult to get back to that practice (almost easier to simply sit each day for even a few minutes). Noticed it’s hard to sit when “life” feels really full of things to do and get done. I have several new projects on my plate so it feels fuller (more things I could be doing that I wouldn’t be doing if I sat). Yet, when my plate is fuller that’s when it feels like sitting and nourishing myself in this way would be really supportive.
I have enjoyed sitting on a rock beside the bay a couple of different days which was quite lovely. So enjoy that sitting is really available anytime and any place. Often, sitting for a few minutes in the car when needed to reconnect and center. And I can feel the difference though when sitting in my usual morning place at home. Feels more grounding and nourishing in a deeper way.
I am physically dealing with a stuffy nose and sore throat which happens for me when a lot is moving really fast in my inner processing and a lot is happening externally as well. Cannot always keep my energy at a level that lets my body process and clear things and stay in a state of wellness. Trusting that it’s all part of the larger process for me.
We are in the last week of the feast with our completion this coming Thursday, Feb 23rd. I am going to take some time to reflect on the “whole” process and write a bit about it later this week.
Best wishes with feasting and life.
