Play to stretch body-mind

Notice new experiences stretch mind- body. Some question the difference between spontaneous and impulsive. This journey challenges self-created limits, nudges us out of comfort zones. Everything unfolding invites us to deepen connection to the heart. Where to from here? Options are as unique as snowflakes.

As we immerse into spontaneous movement, twiddle our fingers, move our shoulders and hips and rest of the body, sing, we rediscover the power of free spirit enables us to feel more alive. Exchanges with like-minded souls spark more curiousity, elicit humor, nurture growth, even unforeseen healing. When we feel stuck, indecisive, lack confidence, allowing our playful spirit expression is like giving ourselves permission to shake up and let go of our illusions. Things can fall into place without control. Where the mind is too serious and constricted, then life feels too confining.

The key to remembering who we are and being that arises from free-flowing, heartfelt actions; jump into puddles, dance, twirl in bare feet, skip in the sand, fly in an aerial hammock, on skates, in a hangglider or some other way that enables you to be one with nature, wind and energy flow of existence. Let the body move. Let Soul be your pilot. See what happens, what shakes itself out.

A widely forgotten truth is that the genius of play naturally guides us to pay attention and focus on what matters. Play is not only about ourselves. Its about how are we relate to environments, energy flow, others and the world around us. We can pay attention to the body-mind and sacred heart in a whole new way. Discover the joy spontaneity evokes and rekindles any moment.
