Everything you say here resonates and particularly the head and body tugging in different directions and I love face down relaxation pose with blanket and sometimes I love to wrap the blanket totally round my middle - so comforting, so good, and now I find myself wondering why I don’t do it more often! How is it that we know what feels good and so often don’t take the time for it?
Oh yes, making the time for ourselves is a practice, I find. I love to do face down relaxation pose that way sometimes too! When I studied with my teachers they nicknamed it a “burrito blanket” and I can see why when we wrap ourselves up like that. I find it very soothing. Thanks so much, Rakhee for reading and sharing your thoughts here 🙏🏾
Thank you for your open and vulnerable share, Paula. And for the really helpful prompts which I'm going to reflect on myself.
Also thank you for the link to the racial weathering article. I've never heard of this phrase before but this totally makes sense. A very sobering read.
I hope all the ways in which you're resting and taking care of yourself have a nourishing impact for you.
Yes, racial weathering is something more people are only just learning about and beginning to understand. I’m so glad you found the prompts helpful and I hope you are finding space for rest too, Janelle. Thanks so much for being here 🙏🏾
