Stretching...
Sitting on a bench underneath a mimosa tree, I heard hummingbirds chattering. I looked and saw a few of them buzzing around while another one began to pollinate the feathery pink flowers right in front of me. Seeing and hearing these beautiful creatures going about their day enlightened my spirit. Onward with listening to this meditation, I closed my eyes. I decided on trying something different because I have been feeling a pinched achy feeling in my upper back.
Beginning at my toes and ending at my neck, I began to do some simple exercises to stretch and awaken my body. Performing these simple exercises while listening to the beautiful relaxing music in the background, a sense of aliveness became apparent in the areas I stretched and lessened the pinching ache I felt in my upper back. It is amazing how the area(s) of discomfort seem to lessen a tad when we put our focus elsewhere in our body! With a smile on my face and a big sigh on my exhale, I opened my eyes. I am now ready to have a great day regardless of how this body feels! Thank you, Irene! Namaste 🙏🏻❤️☮️
