Back To Your Heart

 

"To breathe your air, tend to me. Tell me what you want and I will try to be. Everywhere, all the time.
 Think about the future, let the past unwind. Cause you are the shining sun.
The summer comes, I leave again for you. Back to your heart." 
Lou Barlow

What would happen if we listened to our hearts for just a few moments a day?

A moment being one full breath within the body. 

A moment with hands connected to heart space.

A moment where thoughts are kind, generous, and gracious.

What would happen if we spent a few moments honoring where we are in this moment? 

Would the grief and sadness lift? or would it remain? Maybe these emotions would stay, but move over to make space for both at the same time?

If I can create a moment of awareness for myself, can I create one for others too?

Moving, breathing, meditating is my therapy.

Sukhasana Garuda ~ Eagle arms in seated easy pose opens the shoulders and upper back.

This offering brings awareness to the breath while gently opening the back of the heart.

Imagine your wings extending out behind you, soaring as an eagle surveying the land below. 

What do you see? Is your vision more discerning when the view becomes clearer?

Change your position, change your view.

As you lift your elbows, find an arch in the upper spine. The shoulder blades slide down, tucking the chin toward the chest. 

Notice sensation. Notice your thoughts. Find a way back to your heart.
