a quote from my dear friend Becky in an email today "I'm trying to "relax into my beingness" ~ i love that and all that it stands for...
i constantly find myself reminding myself to relax, find your center and be present right now. i put too much pressure on myself to do all these things but if i don't remind myself to relax i won't. it's that easy.
practice i say..
practice..
i'm here to remind you and myself to try to "relax into your beingness" right at this moment.
what does that bring you?
for me:
hearing the rain outside my window
the drips ..drips...drips
noticing the ache in my back and neck
the release of myself into my chair
the smile on my face from the photo i see of Kadison
i LOVE this!
i bought a pomegranite last weekend with the intention of photographing it...i still haven't done that...

Posted by: stef at November 14, 2006 08:48 PMI also thought that was a picture of teeth at first glance! YIKES! I quickly thought, oh my, Stef has lost it! LOL! But then instantly I recognized it to be a pomegranet, and it made me think of when I was 8 years old and we used to spend hours eating the seeds out of the pomegranets off the tree in our backyard! That's the beingness I am choosing to go with right now, it's nicer and calmer than my reality at this exact moment!
Posted by: Sonja at November 14, 2006 07:06 PMthank you for this reminder. distrations are endless and everywhere...but i relax into my beingness and i notice i am hungry, a little on edge, and slightly tense. i sink further into my body and know that everything is really ok. thanks again. just hangin' out in the present moment...
Posted by: nicole at November 14, 2006 12:01 PMomg! when i first opened you blog, i thought that pomegranet was teeth and i said yikes! then i laughed at my brain playing tricks on me. too much caffine apparently. r.e.l.a.x. is good advice for me :)
Posted by: my pink sky at November 14, 2006 08:04 AMI am really curious what that is a picture of.
I also must remind myself to relax. If only it was ingrained in our brain, like breathing.

this brings me cramps and a neck ache, me singing to the song on the radio and smiling as I see childhood pictures sent to me in email from my dad. just stopping for a moment makes me realize I can smile, I am happy.
