Iām a bit of a meditation nerd š¤
I spend a lot of time listening to meditation lectures and teachings (I know, pretty wild!), and I came across this from Thich Naht Hahn. If you have studied Meditation or Buddhism, there is a good chance that you have come across his teachings.Ā
āSo many people live their daily life, but are not truly alive- they are always running.
Not able to dwell in the present moment
or touch the wonders of life available here and now.
When you sit, doing nothing,
allow yourself to be comfortable.
Allow your body to relax.
Give up the struggle.
Sitting is an art -
the art of resting.
Many of us have lost the capacity to rest.
We know the body has the power to heal itself,
but we donāt give it the chance.
We work our bodies too hard
and donāt know how to let them rest.
If we allow the body to rest,
it knows how to heal.
Animals in the wild, when wounded,
find a quiet place and lie down for many days.
There is a wisdom in that.
But we have lost that wisdom.
We over-worry and donāt trust our bodies.
And therefore - to learn how to allow our bodies to rest is very important.
An important tool in learning how to heal ourselvesā
⨠No wonder Iāve been drawn to Restorative Yoga all my life.Ā
⨠Restorative Yoga is a gentle end to the hustle + struggle, and making time for healing our bodies and minds.Ā
⨠What beautiful words from one of my favourite meditation teacher.Ā
If you are coming to classes in the next few months, I'll be sharing more of my learnings from my studies š¤
