Welcome to the Friday Flow.

Taking time to listen past mental chatter and busy-ness. Bringing awareness and flow to where you are stuck. 

 

I thought I knew going into today’s flow meditation where it was that I needed to put my intention. This week my body’s response to winter’s cold and damp smashed directly against practical demands of life as I worked to transform what was my sewing studio into a guest room.

Emotionally and physically demanding work that time constraints dictated could not be put off for when I was feeling more up to the task. I spent some time dancing this morning, something I love to do but had not indulged in lately and the physical release felt exhilarating.  So it seemed clear to me as I settled in to begin my meditation that it was in those parts of my body where my pain is held where my focus would be. Yet as I tried to direct my mind towards achieving the goal of pain release my awareness went to a clear and deliberate word:  respirar. It came in spanish it didn’t come in English. And as this respirar…this breathing….rose up to my attention  I saw a red glow and felt warmth flow to my body where my awareness had previously stopped.

Respirar.
Respirar.

 

Respirar.

I invite you to find a quiet place to sit for a few moments for your own Friday Flow Meditation.

Where do you perceive you have been stuck this week?  Where is your flow really needing to go when you listen deeply past your mental chatter?
