Body...

I was thinking today as I did my regular yoga routine, how our bodies are run like a well oiled machine when taken care of. And I thought of yoga like the oil keeping my bones and joints moving ( kind of like the Tin Man in the Wizard of Oz) and my thriving to eat healthy as the fuel in my tank that keeps me going strong. But for me it all stems for an every growing "self love"~ that is an ongoing process. Are there days when I wonder if I even ate a fruit or vegetable all day ~ absolutely, are there days when doing yoga and being still and meditating seem like it's to much work and it's easier to just skip it ~ absolutely! But my awareness of self care/self love brings me "back to center" and I start over again because I feel worthy...

Human...

Recently I've gone back to the chiropractor and after doing some ex-rays, I was told that I have scoliosis.  I was a bit taken back, and a little sad when I asked him if I had continued to have gone (when I use to go years ago) would it have gotten this bad and he said if wouldn't have. It just hit home with me, that even though I eat really well, do yoga and try to find time to meditate, there are still areas that can be improved. As humans we are made up of - Mind, Body, Soul and each one needs our attention. It's easy to loose myself in everyday life, in worry, stress and fear. Even though I've had diagnoses a lot worse it was a wake up call to remind myself to bring a little more consciousness about this body I was given and how I'm taking care of it.
