"A Spiritual Life is about becoming more at home in your own skin." Parker J. Palmer
While doing yoga this morning, well it was actually after yoga, that it occurred to me, that by doing yoga I am taking care of the living breathing body that my awareness lives in. I could see it as one would a plant...how it is alive.
That tending to my body is to nurture and care for a living thing.
In the past, the reasons were more removed from the actual living breathing body, they were about getting rid of a pain, or slimming down, but I truly don't believe I could see that I was caring for a magnificent living organism.
Being a good caretaker of the body, for me, means doing yoga. I move better or the body does...it is more limber and stands taller with more muscle to support it. The body awaits our attention.
