I can't even begin to tell you how thankful I am that the past week is finished!
Between being miserable, hurty, and musicians quitting at the last minute I am SO over the week.
I got to class last night about 10 minutes early - C put me on the table straight away - I am so grateful to her for her love and patience with me! When she puts hands on it is truly a gift she gives, if everyone could experience that it would make the world a better place.
She took a good amount of time with everyone last night, it was nice to just be in the atmosphere again the only demands being placed on me were to listen (to hands and words) and learn. C read to us from "Man's supreme inheritance," I marveled at how all of these men at the same time were focusing and learning the same thing - the mind body relationship. It's wild to me to think that this was going on world-wide with seemingly little communication regarding the research until after things were published. Crazy.
We took break - C, C, and J played hackey sack - I have zero coordination for this and it brings back some pretty horrible memories of being ridiculed for all sorts of things I was not coordinated at. I didn't love it and I didn't join in. That said, it was nice to hear everyone laughing and interacting. S was eating dinner and C was chatting on her phone (or working perhaps). The whole evening was very communal and enjoyable.
After break C had us all lay in semi-supine and she read to us from "Art of Changing." It took us through some body awareness - especially in our backs and back parts of our body and then she went on to the Judge and the Bunny. To understand and appreciate this you really need to look at or experience the exercise. For now, let's say it has us touch on our judging of ourselves. It was powerful to me - the visual was real and the feelings were very much at the surface.
I'm beginning to understand the mind/body thing. You really can't have one without the other. Mindfulness, inhibition, being present, it really is the only way you can be aware, manage, and survive in a positive way. It's no wonder I'm such an ever loving mess! But I'll get it.
I wish it would snow. I'm tired of fall, it's time for winter - a good, solid, snow filled, winter! I doubt I'll get my wish - it's going to be almost 60 for Thanksgiving. HA! G and I talked about going somewhere but I don't know that we're going to this year. We do have plenty that will need to be taken care of here. One day I'll do like Dr. Sternbach and spend Christmas in the Galapagos :)
