I'm becoming more aware every day what an impact our mind plays on our well being in every way. If you haven't guessed... that's pretty much the focus of my blog.
Last night, I lay in my bed... alone. Red and Cream flowered flannel pants with a mis-matched baby blue long sleeved T-shirt. My socks - dragging the covers with me whichever way my feet twitched. Becoming hotter and hotter with every flip and flop from discomfort or from the ramblings of my mind.
All of a sudden, I feel a certain something I haven't felt in about four months. I felt... achy. Like - sinus infection, feverish achy. For those of you who don't know, I have had chronic sinus infections most of my life. They were crippling. Every time I had one felt like the flu. I had sinus surgery to fix said ailment though.
It was 1:09 when my mind finally said, "Enough is enough. Let's do this thing." My mind went back to a massage I had from an acquaintance of mine. Her name is Zan. I thought the entire massage was incredibly hokey when I was going through it, but my mind was much more closed than it is now. Every time she would apply pressure to my back, she would tell me to exhale all negativity to the universe. I wanted to giggle.
But as this came back to me last night, I realized that this is an exercise of the mind. And my mind needed a bit of a work-out. I started working in specifics as I began my meditation. Meditation is basically just silence... focus on breathing. And as I breathed in, I began to speak positive things into my life such as health, prosperity, mental well being, etc... And as I exhaled, each breath was to rid something negative from my life - past hurt, illness, mediocrity, etc...
Not only did the tossing and turning, flipping and flopping cease - but I also fell right to sleep. And might I say, although I woke up at my normal time - I woke up refreshed and ready to start my day.
Namaste
