Day 6

I am tired today. Both of my kids are sick, and I am on a serious run of sleepless nights. Today I literally practiced amid sobbing. It was kind of crazy. And yet in the end it was immensely helpful. I really believe that when my children can see me tending to myself, that they are learning something vital. Not just about mama, but about all people and our basic human need for heart-centered self care. Often, when I finish, we are all settled more deeply in ourselves. Not just me. And there are days when nothing works out remotely as I had hoped and we are all punting. And that is great too because there we are practicing in another way what it means to be in the flow.

Sunday is traditionally one of my longer practice days of the week. Probably because it is the one day that I practice with other people and we hold each other there much more easily. So, I am going to give you the sequence that I will be doing in the morning. You can take it or leave it or just do some of it (or better yet come and practice the very same thing in community at 7 am in the morning.)

This is a sequence that we did at a workshop that I attended when I was pregnant with Eider. I loved it then and I love it now. But then again, the teacher was THE TEACHER and he is pretty much brilliant at all things including teaching a phenomenal class with a phenomenal sequence.
