The yoga class has become one of the highlights of my week. I look forward to it every week and miss it when it does not happen. Sometimes I feel deeply relaxed, sometimes I feel very loved and deeply nurtured, sometimes I experience deep emotional releases, all this simply from lying in a comfortable yoga posture. Lying wrapped in blankets in super comfortable postures has sometimes felt like being in the womb.

I felt that when I am not able to enjoy life, one reason is because of the weight of the burdens I am carrying. This weight can come from many different sources. Some of it could be due to the stress and the wounds I have encountered through life that I am still carrying. Some of it could be my misperceptions about what is happening in my life.
This realisation helped me feel really grateful for my daily Reiki practice as I know that Reiki helps me to let go of what is presenting in the outer layer of my being each time I give myself a Reiki treatment. When I receive a Reiki treatment from another person, I know that the healing can go even deeper.
Sat in the warm sunshine in the garden and thoroughly enjoyed this amazing breakfast listening to the birds singing, sitting on the grass, present in the moment. Sheer bliss 🙂

The next morning I woke up with the realisation that what was happening in the country with Xenophobia, was playing out in my own home too. Mercifully at a smaller scale though. Much as I love my daughter, I was struggling with sharing what I had started to think of as my space.
Somehow this realisation helped me to see the ways in which I can be intolerant. It seems to have helped bring a part of me that I was not so conscious of, into conscious awareness. It is not a part that I am happy to own. But I know that as I become aware of it and accept it, I will not keep getting triggered by it unexpectedly.

It feels amazing to realise that the simple act of observing/giving attention can help bring about improvement. I know that I have been giving attention to all sorts of things in my life. Some of it has been conscious and a lot has been subconscious. It feels good to realise that I am becoming more aware of what I am giving attention to and the difference it can make. Hopefully this awareness will bring better balance and presence.
