The body is fascinating, everything it reveals unto us if we just gave it a moment to listen to it. The things our body reveals are deep. Thee attachments pressed into our skin, bones, and muscles learning how to release. Movement for me has been such an integral part of my world. I grew up with my father, who at the time was so heavy into physical fitness and martial arts. I was the only little girl I knew that wanted to be a fairy ninja ballerina actress superstar. I loved martial arts. It was my favorite. I was a fanatic, watched every movie during the 80s, and practiced my own style of martial arts and ninjitsu every day. I would mimic what I saw, and I was so open to learning, so I listened to instruction. My dad did his best to show many techniques, including breathing techniques, which I learned early on helped my meditation. I wanted to learn how to meditate as a kid, and so I always practiced, not realizing that in my practice, I was actually doing it. I know this now as an adult, and grateful I am for the experience. The house I grew up in had creaky doors and steps, and so I had to learn to be as silent as can be when moving around, and so this grew my practice of being a ninja ballerina, practicing the art of landing lightly on my feet and moving with such control, along with silencing my breath. By the time I was 10 years old, I was a pro. Light on my feet, skipping steps, floating in the air, wicked fast. So fast by the time I was in junior high school, I ran track, played a variety of sports while mastering my double Dutch girl power. I swear being a kid back then in the 80s and 90s was so much better than what it is now. Less technology truly allowed us to get to learn other modes of entertainment that involved us using our mind, body, heart, soul, our entire human vessel had to actively participate. Grateful I am for these memories and moments that truly have contributed to my lifestyle of knowing how to shut off all the static noise percolating everywhere we turn now. Everywhere I look, someone is holding a technology device, whether it be their own phone or whatnot, and their heads with a new horse gait face looking at their phone, ruining their posture. But that’s neither here nor there. Life cycles are everywhere. Breathwork is soul important. Meditating to our heartbeats and connecting with our entire being is so important. When was the last time you made time to connect with your body and listen to the stories of the universe reveal themselves into you, unto you, for you are the universe in constant evolutionary motion. It’s always fascinating that we are looser on one side than another, all dependent on what our dominant side is, which is why stretching is so important. It will help you align your positions into true balance. Is balance not what we seek, whether it be literal, metaphorical, or otherwise? Thank you for your time. I love writing. For expression is everything to me. Arrivederci.
