Just Breathe.........

The world seems a bit tilted on its axis at times these days....and I really think it happened with Covid.....I know we all love to blame Covid lol:) But.......the world took on a funny hue in the wake of that....and perhaps we were lulled into the new normal in the aftermath, believing it was the normal we had beforehand......but I don't think that is so now......I think energetically the world has changed and it feels like there are deeper things going on within the fabric of the world.....and I don't mean to say that as a conspiracy motivated person....I just mean that collectively......the energetic imprint of the world feels different.....at least to me.....and I think there is a battle between good and evil afoot at the moment, again as an entire world.....and I feel it will be important to keep our spirits up.....and JUST breathe....I got copper words for my kitchen to match my sink that I love so much;-), saying just that.....and reminding me to just breathe......the breath being the most powerful in our arsenal......reminding me on a regular basis......every morning when I meditate....which by the way I have kept up on.....I wrote awhile back about wanting to do it more consistently and I have.....:) And it changes EVERYTHING.....just breathing......slowly......deeply......intentionally......letting your body fill with that intentional air.....and slowing everything down.....and one part of life that is intense is my work.....things have shifted in education in a way that makes the demands great, and the stress level increased dramatically, since Covid.....but likely beforehand some....and so all of us are acclimating, and running, and jumping higher than ever before, to keep our heads up and it requires stress management.....and I was thinking the other day that if I did not begin my morning, front loading with the practice of blogging, meditating, and working out.....I would be way more frazzled amid the stresses found there.....pouring into myself so fully and consistently helps me sustain myself in a better way....but it still is challenging, no doubt.....so I think I am going to try to devote 5 minute meditations to my class regularly.....daily.....and see what happens....an experiment of sorts....I am sure it will take them time to adjust....the times we have meditated have found them silly and off task......and being goofy some about it....but I am hopeful devoting that 5 minutes to the class every day.....to JUST breathe.....will help reset everybody in a way that will set the tone.....I am excited to begin, I am starting it today! And am curious where 30 days will find us! We shall see:) Enjoy the day:)
